EUROFER97 specimens Al-base coated using different processes, either chemical vapour deposition or electroplating, were oxidised at 980 °C for 60 minutes and 760 °C for 90 minutes to understand whether this 2-step oxidation process could provide a suitable oxide layer able to offer both corrosion protection and a tritium permeation barrier. The…
The effect of water chemistry, surface condition, pH moderator (LiOH vs. KOH), and Zn addition was investigated at 300 °C on the oxidation behaviour of reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAF/M) EUROFER-97. EUROFER-97 is the proposed material for the water-cooled breeder blanket (WC-BB) section of DEMO, but its behaviou…
