Abstract
The FeCrAlTiMo high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings were deposited on the ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steel fuel cladding tubes by magnetron sputtering technology to improve their lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) corrosion resistance. The effects of bias voltage on the microstructure, mechanical and LBE corrosion properties of the FeCrAlTiMo coatings were systematically investigated. The LBE corrosion test shows that the coatings with a bias voltage of −150 V exhibit the best oxidation resistance after exposed to the oxygen-deficient LBE at 600 °C for 500 h, and can be used as a protective candidate coating material for lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) application. The high-temperature LBE corrosion mechanism of the FeCrAlTiMo coatings under deficient oxygen concentration was also discussed in detail.
