Abstract

In the design of the spallation target of CiADS, T91 steel was selected for the most critical component, the beam window. A Si-modified martensitic steel (SIMP) has been currently developed, which has better corrosion resistance and is planning to replace T91 as a material of beam window in the future. In order to assess the effect of irradiation damage on the microstructure evolution and corrosion behavior of the SIMP, the pre-irradiated samples with irradiation doses from 5 × 10 15 to 3 × 10 17 He/cm 2 exposed in static lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) with saturated oxygen at 350 °C for 4000 h were investigated. Results show that pre-irradiation neither change the double-layer structure of the oxide layer nor significantly affect the corrosion rate. This may be due to the slow diffusion of elements at low temperatures, and the low irradiation dose not reaching the threshold for triggering accelerated corrosion.
