Abstract Scope |
To achieve high thermal-to-electric conversion efficiency and enable cost competitiveness, the next generation of Nuclear Reactors systems is expected to operate at high temperatures. Molten fluoride salts are identified as a highly promising heat transfer fluid and thermal energy storage media. These molten salts introduce a set of technological and engineering challenges because of their very corrosive characteristics for typical materials.
LM Group Holdings, Inc. has developed and applied proprietary innovative amorphous metallic alloy coatings that are able to withstand the severe corrosive environment of molten salt at high temperatures. Amorphous metals are a novel class of materials that have a disordered, non-crystalline, glassy structure
This presentation will highlight amorphous thermal sprayed coatings on Haynes 230 which have been tested at Virginia Tech and compared to non-coated Haynes 230 in terms of corrosion resistance under molten fluoride salt. This work is sponsored through DoE SBIR award DE-SC0020761. |
