Simulations show nichrome microstructure could impact corrosion
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have reported evidence that small adjustments to a material’s atomic-level ordering can significantly affect the rate and extent of corrosion, even with identical baseline chemical compositions.
For the study, published recently in Corrosion Science, the team ran simulations for nichrome-based alloys, which have excellent strength, creep resistance, and tolerance to radiation-induced degradation, making them top candidates for use in molten salt reactors and other advanced energy systems.
