Abstract

This study explores the corrosion response of irradiated nickel-based GH3535 alloy in impurity-enriched molten FLiNaK salt at 650 °C. Displacement damage resulting from Au ion irradiation formats dislocation loops, whose distribution is influenced by subsequent He ion irradiation and He bubble formation. Samples irradiated with Au ions exhibit a shallow corrosion layer with big-size and dense distributed Cr 2O 3 particles, while a contrasting trend is observed in samples irradiated with He ions. Displacement damage decelerates Cr outward diffusion by promoting protective Cr 2O 3 formation with SO 4 2- impurities, thereby inhibiting impurity-accelerated corrosion. However, the accelerating effect of He bubbles subsequently counteracts this inhibitory impact on corrosion.
