Experimental study on corrosion of high temperature fiber in molten salt
The property of temperature-and corrosion-resistance of high temperature optical fiber depends on the coating layer on the surface.
Purpose
2
This study aims to find an optical fiber withstanding high temperature fluoride salt corrosion.
Methods
2
Gold-plated optical fiber was selected for experimental test in the fluoride salt of the molten state at temperatures of 600℃ and 650℃. The samples were taken out after 24 h steeped in the high temperature molten salt
and then observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Results
2
The SEM images of gold plating layer of the optical fiber show that the surface of the fiber remained intact
and there is no obvious sign of corrosion.
Conclusion
2
It can be applied to the molten salt reactor for the short-time temperature measurement.
