Result description
The high-performance tubes enable the utilisation of highly corrosive fluids such as liquid lead in high-temperature and high-strength applications with long service life and low degradation rates
This solution combines both a high strength steel (Alloy 800HT) and a high temperature corrosion resistant alloy (FeCrAl) in the same alloy. It’s used for the secondary heat exchanger that has to work under high internal pressure. The two materials used are well known but their interaction with molten lead was unknown. The production route is new, while the manufacturing process is known.
