Oxygen Sensors and Corrosion with Oxygen Control in LBE Systems.

[摘要] In lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) systems, an effective technique for corrosion prevention is via active control of the thermodynamic oxygen activity (TOA) in the molten metal(1)(2). Because of the relative inertness of Pb and Bi, it is possible to 'passivate' the surface of structural steels with a protective 'self-healing' oxide film by controlling the oxygen concentration in LBE. In this paper we report the experimental and numerical results from our development of oxygen sensors to measure and control TOA and modeling of corrosion process with oxygen control.
