Abstract Aiming at exploring the corrosion behavior of CLAM steel in lead bismuth eutectic alloy (LBE) with diverse relative flow velocities, the corrosion tests of CLAM steel in liquid LBE with diverse flow velocities (0 m/s, 1.70 m/s, 2.98 m/s, 3.69 m/s, 4.77 m/s) at 550 ℃ for 500 h were carried out. The SEM, XRD were employed to characterize the the surface of CLAM steel samples after corrosion, and the SEM-EDS analysis and mapping scanning were conducted on the cross section of the corrosion samples of CLAM steel, respectively. After the corrosion test for 500 h, a bilayer oxide structure could be found on the surface of the CLAM steel samples. The outer oxide layer was composed of Fe3O4, and the inner oxide layer was composed of (Fe,Cr)3O4. When the relative flow velocity of LBE increased from 0 m/s to 2.98 m/s, the thickness of the oxide layer on the samples grew gradually, which could be attributed to the acceleration of the dissolution of Fe and diffusion migration of O by the increasing LBE relative flow rate, leading to critical oxidation corrosion. However, when the relative flow velocity of LBE rose from 2.98 m/s to 4.77 m/s, the thickness of the oxide layer on the samples decreased gradually, which because the degree of erosion-corrosion aggravated with the increase of the LBE flow velocity, and the oxide layer suffered a certain degree of spalling. Therefore, the thickness of the oxide layer gradually decreased with the increase of the LBE flow velocity.The results of the study on the corrosion behavior of CLAM steel in liquid LBE with various flow velocities are expected to provide data support and reference for the practical application of ADS system in the future.
