Abstract: The interactions of selected zirconium alloys used as special construction materials (Zr-pure, Zry-2, E-110) with the molten system of (LiF-NaF-KF)(eut.) with additions of K2ZrF6 or Na7Zr6F31 were studied. Corrosion losses of pure zirconium decrease sharply with 5 mole % addition of K2ZrF6 to (LiF-NaF-KF)(eut.). The presence of alloying additives (Sn, Nb) has a positive influence on corrosion resistance in the eutectic mixture - up to 60 % increase in corrosion resistance in comparison with pure zirconium. The mass losses of pure zirconium indicate an increasing corrosion attack with increasing Na7Zr6F31 content in (LiF-NaF-KF)(eut.) mixtures.

Keywords: molten salts – zirconium – mass loss – high temperature corrosion
