Embrittlement of the martensitic steel 91 tested in liquid lead

G Nicaise, +3 more
- 01 Jul 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed tensile tests on a 9% Cr 1% Mo martensitic (Grade 91) steel in a liquid lead environment at temperatures ranging between 623 and 773 K. They found that by combining adapted heat treatments and the notch effect, it is possible to create conditions severe enough that lead to LME.

Embrittlement of a martensitic steel by liquid lead

Alexandre Legris, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, preliminary results of LME of a martensitic steel by liquid lead have been reported, which strongly suggest that under the experimental conditions adopted, LME is not due to grain boundaries penetration or wetting, and instead may be interpreted in the framework of the more traditional mechanisms that suppose a reduction of surfaceenergy and/or bond-strength induced by liquid-lead adsorption.
