Wetting of Fe–7.5%Cr steel by molten Pb and Pb–17Li

Wetting of an Fe–7.5wt%Cr martensitic steel by molten lead has been studied as a function of temperature in the range 400–900 °C by the sessile drop and dispensed drop techniques. Two different furnace atmospheres (high vacuum and an He–H 2 gas mixture) and different heat treatments of the steel pri...

Description
Summary:Wetting of an Fe–7.5wt%Cr martensitic steel by molten lead has been studied as a function of temperature in the range 400–900 °C by the sessile drop and dispensed drop techniques. Two different furnace atmospheres (high vacuum and an He–H 2 gas mixture) and different heat treatments of the steel prior to test allowed the wetting for both oxidised and deoxidised steels. The influence of addition of Li, a metal with a high affinity for oxygen, to Pb on wetting has also been investigated.
