Abstract

Sb-Bi alloys may be applied as positive electrode in liquid metal batteries. In this work, the material compatibility of two steels (SS 316 L and T91), Kovar 4J29, and molybdenum with SbBi9, Sb2Bi8, and Sb3Bi7 is investigated in static corrosion tests for 740 h at around 450 °C. Kovar shows severe dissolution attack (800 µm depth for SbBi9), which is mitigated at higher Sb contents due to the formation of Fe-Sb compounds. Both steels exhibit moderate corrosion depths (10-20 µm) for all Sb-Bi alloys thanks to the additional formation of stable Fe-Cr-Sb compounds. Good corrosion resistance is obtained for molybdenum.
