title = "Understanding a novel form of intergranular corrosion of stainless steel 316L exposed to molten LiCl-Li2O-Li",
abstract = "Stainless steel 316 L exposed to LiCl-Li2O molten salt containing Li metal for 500 and 1000 h experiences deep intergranular attack and bulk void formation. This degradation is due to a synergistic corrosion mechanism, different than other forms of molten salt corrosion, where Cr and Mn oxides and carbides form along grain boundaries and are dissolved by Li metal. Synchrotron transmission X-ray microscopy 3D imaging is used to show corrosion morphology and Cr enrichment and depletion in a novel format that has not previously been used for bulk corrosion samples.",
