Abstract

The M₂₃C₆ precipitates play an important role in the corrosion behavior of austenitic stainless steel. Here, by establishing the connection between the surface and the precipitated phase, this work assesses the surface dissolution corrosion by applying the electrode potential. Firstly, the influence of different carbides precipitates on surface dissolution corrosion is compared, which shows that Cr₂₂FeC₆ has the highest electrode potential (+1.68 V), accelerating surface dissolution corrosion. Then, the effect of solute atoms (Pb/Bi/O) on surface dissolution corrosion is studied. It is found that Pb/Bi will promote the dissolution of surface Fe atoms. However, O will strengthen the corrosion resistance of the surface. Simultaneously, the O inhibits the hybridization of the 3d orbital of Fe and the 6p orbital of Bi/Pb, mitigating the corrosion of Pb/Bi on the surface. Lastly, the effects of common alloying elements (Al, Si, and Ni) in austenitic steel on the corrosion of the surface are also investigated to improve surface corrosion resistance. This research attempts to provide a more comprehensive knowledge of the corrosion of iron substrates in ADSs, improving the safety of nuclear energy systems.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators. Both original research and critical review papers covering experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either fundamental or applied nature are welcome. The breadth of the field is such that a wide range of processes and properties in the field of materials science and engineering is of interest to the readership, spanning atom-scale processes, microstructures, thermodynamics, mechanical properties, physical properties, and corrosion, for example. Topics covered by JNM Fission reactor materials, including fuels, cladding, core structures, pressure vessels, coolant interactions with materials, moderator and control components, fission product behavior. Materials aspects of the entire fuel cycle. Materials aspects of the actinides and their compounds. Performance of nuclear waste materials; materials aspects of the immobilization of wastes. Fusion reactor materials, including first walls, blankets, insulators and magnets. Neutron and charged particle radiation effects in materials, including defects, transmutations, microstructures, phase changes and macroscopic properties. Interaction of plasmas, ion beams, electron beams and electromagnetic radiation with materials relevant to nuclear systems.
