Mass transfer deposits in lithium-type 316 stainless steel thermal-convection loops

Description: In spatially nonisothermal flowing liquid metal systems, selected constitutents of the containment materials characteristically dissolve into the liquid metal in the hotter zones and are deposited in the colder areas. The accumulation of deposits is often a more serious problem than dissolution because of attendant flow restrictions and, in reactor applications, the aggregation of radioactive species in the coolant circuits. Accordingly, the deposition processes in lithium-type 316 stainless st… more
