About this ebook

Liquid Metal Corrosion: Fundamental Theory and Applications is designed to help scientists, engineers and students working on liquid metal (sodium, lead, lead-bismuth) to fundamentally understand liquid metal corrosion. Coverage includes a discussion of corrosion mechanisms, fundamental corrosion processes, and corrosion products' behaviors as well as methods on how to calculate corrosion rates. The book concludes with models designed to predict the corrosion/precipitation distribution in a primary corrosion loop. This book will be a useful resource for researchers in their efforts to determine appropriate materials selection and reactor design. - Discusses liquid metal corrosion mechanisms - Includes models to estimate/calculate corrosion rates - Presents liquid metal corrosion controls and mitigation methods

About the author

Prof. Jinsuo Zhang is a professor of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Program at the Virginia Tech. His research interests are material degradation (corrosion) and coolant chemistry for advanced nuclear reactors including liquid metal and molten salt reactors. He has been working on liquid metal corrosion since 2001. He has published more than 130 journal papers relevance to materials corrosion. Before Prof. Zhang joined the Virginia tech, he was an associate professor at The Ohio State University from 2012 to 2017, and was staff scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 2004 to 2012. Porf. Zhang got his Ph.D from Zhejiang University in 2001.
