Abstract:
Based on the operating conditions of the cooling tubes in the fusion reactor blanket, the effect of dynamic diffusible hydrogen on the oxide film of 9Cr-ODS steel thin-walled tubes was investigated after 400 h corrosion in high-temperature high-pressure (325 ℃/15.5 MPa) deoxygenated water. The results indicate that a dual-layer structure was exhibited by the oxide film on 9Cr-ODS steel, with the inner layer composed of (Fe, Cr)
2O
4 and Cr
2O
3 and the outer layer consisting of Fe
3O
4. The stability of the oxide film was reduced by diffusible hydrogen, with defects and cracks generated on its surface, while no significant interfacial penetration was observed.
