摘要
The article discusses a model of the interaction between a liquid-metal coolant (Pb, Pb55Bi(e)) and a heat exchanger material (316L steel) in an SVBR-type nuclear reactor cooling device for the case in which the effect of liquid-metal embrittlement cannot be ignored. It is assumed that a crack propagates due to the penetration of the liquid-metal coolant into intergrain boundaries. The free energy of a wetted surface is calculated using the mean-field theory within the formalism of finite element analysis. Tensile stress S (MPa) is determined for the propagation of a crack 50 mu m long from a defect in the form of a 0.15-mm scratch on the surface of the heat exchanger. The calculation is carried out for an operation temperature range of 900-1100 K, when the melt wets the steel. The values of S= 253-358 , and 210 -369 MPa have been obtained for the interaction of Pb55Bi melts and Pb with 316L steel, respectively. The calculation results mean that a heat exchanger with surface defects can be damaged due to the effect of liquid-metal embrittlement.
