Abstract Titanium shows outstanding resistance to seawater and marine atmospheres. It is also resistant to attack by hot metallic chloride solutions, sodium and potassium hypochlorite, and chlorine dioxide. The metal is resistant to attack by hot nitric acid at concentrations up to 80% and is not attacked by sulfuric acid. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TI-122. Producer or source: Timet.

You Heat pipe is a high efficiency heat transfer element, depends on the evaporation, condensation and circulation of inside working fluid. The working fluid of a high temperature pulsating heat pipe is generally alkali metals, and sodium heat pipe can operate in range of 500-1100°C. In order to investigate terminal velocity of working fluid, the glass pulsating heat pipe was produced for experimental purposes. The experiment was carried out, in order to simulate real operating conditions in range of 500-1100°C. Sudden boiling of liquid sodium (b.p. = 883°C at 1 atm) inside the all quartz-made heat pipe results in high-temperature reaction of sodium vapour with the inner wall surface. The reaction became more aggressive with increasing vapour temperature and resulted in heat pipe explosion. The evaluation of damage character is analysed in this paper.

The Na-Cu and Na-K systems are of significant interest due to the use of liquid sodium and melt of sodium and potassium in the nuclear industry as a cooling agent in nuclear reactors. In the present work, thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibria in the Na-Cu and Na-K systems is carried out, based on the available published experimental data. This modeling was done using the “FactSage” software package (version 7.0). The set of Redlich-Kister equation parameters was obtained, which allows one to describe the dependence of Gibbs energy from composition and temperature for solutions that can be formed in the studied systems. Phase diagrams (T-x diagrams) of the investigated systems were calculated.

In the operation of sodium-cooled fast reactor, accident caused by the leakage and combustion of liquid sodium is common, and it is a pivotal and difficult problem in research, construction and operation of sodium-cooled fast reactor internationally. In actual operation of sodium-cooled fast reactor, liquid sodium in sodium fire accident is difficult to form fog but mainly in columnar flow form due to low operation pressure and thermal insulation material wrapping the pipe, so experimental research about columnar fire is of much more practical significance. This paper focuses on combustion property on sodium column fire in the sodium-cooled fast reactor. Liquid sodium with high temperature will be poured into the combustion room via pouring high pressure nitrogen into sodium storage tank when solid sodium has been heated to enactment temperature; liquid sodium with high temperature will burn at combustion room with air forming sodium column fire. Initial temperature of sodium jet is about 200°C in experiment and spurt pressure is 0.2MPa, spurt flow is about 0.4–0.6m3 each hour. Temperature fields in combustion tank space and the catch plate in the bottom are measured through dozens of thermocouple distributed in combustion tank. No atomization phenomenon would exist in the pure sodium columnar fire in the space, the atomized fire triggered by splashed sodium from sodium stream striking the admittance plat and generate more than the high temperature of 900°C.
