National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Oxygen Sensors and Corrosion with Oxygen Control in LBE Systems.

DE2001764026

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Li, N.; Darling, T. W.; He, X.
Page Count	7
Abstract	In lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) systems, an effective technique for corrosion prevention is via active control of the thermodynamic oxygen activity (TOA) in the molten metal(1)(2). Because of the relative inertness of Pb and Bi, it is possible to 'passivate' the surface of structural steels with a protective 'self-healing' oxide film by controlling the oxygen concentration in LBE. In this paper we report the experimental and numerical results from our development of oxygen sensors to measure and control TOA and modeling of corrosion process with oxygen control.
