In response to the corrosion problem of high-temperature liquid lead/lead-bismuth in lead-cooled fast reactors, three types of mature special anti-corrosion solutions have been formed.: Coolant oxygen control technology precisely controls the dissolved oxygen concentration in the lead-bismuth coolant to spontaneously form a dense and stable protective oxide layer on the surface of the structural material. When the oxide layer is partially damaged, the dissolved oxygen in the coolant can achieve self-repair of the oxide film and prevent further corrosion of the substrate. The research and development of corrosion-resistant alloy materials has developed special corrosion-resistant steels such as Russian EP823 by adjusting the alloy composition and adding elements such as Cr, Si, and Al. China has also achieved industrial-scale production of engineering materials that can withstand high-temperature liquid lead-bismuth corrosion above 510°C, taking into account the material's mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The surface protective coating process preforms high-temperature corrosion-resistant protective coatings on the surface of structural materials. The United States lists alumina-coated steel and Al-containing austenitic heat-resistant steel as candidate materials for working conditions above 550°C. China is also continuing to promote the optimization and upgrading of related coating preparation processes.
