摘要
The effects of three alloying elements, i.e., Cr, Al, and Si, on liquid metal embrittlement (LME) of pure Fe (BCC) exposed to oxygen-poor liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) have been studied using tensile tests and first prin-ciples calculation. It is shown that all three elements induce an increase in strength while loss of ductility, and Si has the strongest effect. The LME enhancement sequence is Si>Al>Cr. First principles calculation reveals that the considerable decreases of surface energy and Young's moduli as well as more directional and localized bonding due to the alloying elements intrinsically cause the LME susceptibility of BCC Fe.
