Inter-granular embrittlement

The development of corrosion resistant structural materials is apparently the main problem in lead cooled reactor technology. Lead exhibits strong erosion-corrosion effect on structural materials, such as material dissolving, embrittlement, thermal transport of mass and inter-granular penetration of lead. [Pg.34]

Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is not a very common mechanism. Only a small number of liquid metals can cause LME in any given alloy system. LME is an inter- and intra-granular cracking mechanism produced by a liquid metal on the surface of a sensitive solid metal in the presence of a tensile stress, either applied or residual. The mechanism occurs only above a threshold stress vtdue and has an incubation period. Table 3 shows a few of the solid and liquid systems exhibiting LME. More alloys systems exhibiting LME are tabulated in the ASM Metals Handbook, 9th edition, Vol. 11, p. 238. [Pg.73]
