Abstract

This study evaluates the corrosion behavior of SS316 material welded using Inconel and 70S fillers in a static liquid lead (Pb) environment saturated with oxygen at 800 °C for 36 hours, simulating accident conditions in a lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR). Welding was carried out using laser welding (Inconel filler) and metal inert gas (MIG) (70S filler) methods, representing structural joints in the reactor. The results of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis showed the formation of a spinel-type oxide layer (Fe-Cr-O) in both weld areas, with the laser welding sample showing deeper Pb penetration due to the porosity of the oxide layer. In contrast, in MIG welding, the oxide layer was denser with limited Pb penetration at the spinel-matrix interface. The base metal (BM) only formed a thin layer without significant oxide, but showed lower Pb penetration. These results provide critical insights into filler metal performance under extreme conditions, supporting material selection and weld design strategies for enhanced safety and longevity in next-generation lead-cooled fast reactors.
