23 The effect of protective coating on the creep behavior at 550 C After completion of these experiments a important improvement (comparing with original T91) can be seen. Surface modified samples using GESA process shown a decrease of creep strength (in Pb-Bi); however this is much lower comparing to original T91 2nd creep rate in Pb-Bi almost similar with original T91 in air Negative impact of Pb-Bi is reduced at 550 C 23 A. Jianu IAEA COOL Project, May 2011

24 T91+GESA creep tested in PbBi (200 MPa, 550 C) High Al- concentration Alumina Al-concentration < 2wt% Spinel und Magnetite Small cracks without Pb-Bi Cracks in magnetite and spinel, with Pb-Bi penetration Samples are not covered all over with alumina scale further optimization of GESA better results 24 A. Jianu IAEA COOL Project, May 2011

25 Conclusions The alloying of steel surface with aluminum using microsecond-pulsed intense electron beams was developed and optimized in order to be used for improving the corrosion resistance and creep strength of steels, exposed to liquid Pb and Pb-Bi-eutectic. The procedure consists in two steps: (i) coating the steel surface with an Al-containing alloy layer and (ii) melting the coating layer and the steel surface layer using intense pulsed electron beam. Using the mentioned procedure, the corrosion resistance and creep strength of the F/M 9Cr T91 steel, exposed to Pb and Pb-Bi-eutectic with different oxygen concentrations and under different temperatures, were considerably improved due to the formation of a thin alumina layer, whose thickness is lower than 1µm for all the tested temperatures and durations. This slowly growing alumina layer acts as an anti-corrosion barrier and is less susceptible to crack formation and therefore to lead alloy enhanced creep. First indications on the tolerable creep strain were evaluated. However, further detailed experiments would be required at higher operating temperatures, which are expected usually in pure Pb-cooled systems. 25 A. Jianu IAEA COOL Project, May 2011
