A mesoscale phase-field model of intergranular liquid lithium corrosion of ferritic/martensitic steels

Abstract A phase-field model is developed to simulate intergranular corrosion of ferritic/martensitic steels exposed to liquid lithium. The chromium concentration of the material is used to track the mass transport within the metal and liquid (corrosive) phase. The framework naturally captures inter...
