title = "Effect of variation in oxygen concentration in static Pb–Bi eutectic on long-term corrosion performance of Al-alloyed austenitic steels at 500 °C",
abstract = "Aluminium-alloyed austenitic steels Fe-14Cr-2Mn-20Ni-0.5Cu-3Al and Fe-14Cr-5Mn-12Ni-3Cu-2.5Al were tested at 500 °C in static Pb-Bi eutectic for 10,000 h. The concentration of oxygen in the liquid metal was changed in a controlled way over the course of the test from ∼10−6 to ∼10−9 mass% which provided conditions for oxidation and dissolution, respectively. Both steels showed slight oxidation of surface. Steel with higher Ni content revealed also initiation of dissolution corrosion in the view of rare pit-type damages. The structural and compositional features of oxide films, sub-oxide zones and corrosion damages are discussed.",

note = "Funding Information: The investigations performed in the framework of the ongoing program of characterization of compatibility of candidate materials with liquid Pb-Bi eutectic for development of the MYRRHA irradiation facility. The research leading to these results is partially funded by the European Commission HORIZON 2020 Framework Programme under grant agreement No. 755269. The authors are very thankful to Mr. Michael P. Brady (Materials Science and Technology Division, Oak Ridge National Lab, Oak Ridge, TN 37831-6115, USA) for supplying AFA steels. The authors would like to thank for the technical support to Mr. Joris Jasper and Mr. Yves Florenty and for assistance in FESEM to Ms. Lopes Maia Eloa (SCK.CEN).
