Abstract:
Work is continuing on investigation of mechanisms associated with the attack of liquid cesium on Haynes-25, columbium-1 zirconium and molybdenum-12 titanium. Preliminary evaluations have been performed on the compatibility of TD Nickel, a dispersion alloy, with liquid cesium. Dissimilar metal capsules of Haynes-25 vs Cb-1Zr and Cb-1Zr vs Mo-12Ti have been heated in a cesium environment at 1800 F and 2500 F respectively. Solubility studies of the alloys in liquid cesium are underway, utilizing refractory metal crucibles for sampling at temperature. A device for determination of the solubility of carbon in cesium is in the design stage.
