The concept of minimizing steel corrosion in liquid lead-alloys by addition of oxygen strongly depends on the availability of efficient devices for oxygen transfer and reliable oxygen sensors. The accuracy of electrochemical oxygen sensors is analyzed on the basis of theoretical considerations and results from experiments in stagnant lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE). Additionally, the feasibility of gas/liquid oxygen-transfer and the long-term performance of electrochemical sensors in flowing liquid metal are addressed based on operation of the CORRIDA loop, a facility for testing steels in flowing LBE.

Abstract Development of liquid lead cooled nuclear systems requires consideration of compatibility issues with the construction materials. In order to understand the corrosion or passivation behavior of the 316 L austenitic stainless steel, the steel specimens were exposed for 1000 h in liquid lead with 1 × 10−7 wt % oxygen level at 480 °C in static and flowing (velocity 1.6 m/s) conditions. Post-test microscopy investigation using scanning electron microscope with focused ion beam (FIB) was performed and it demonstrated significant differences in the formation of thin oxide layers in the two conditions. Maximum oxide thickness was 2 μm in the static lead (Pb) and less than 0.1 μm in the flowing Pb. In the static condition, oxide scale was not continuous and local corrosion attack was indicated; but in flowing condition the oxide layer was continuous without any corrosion attacks.
