Abstract: The suitability of ferrous alloys as materials for containment of liquid lithium is considered. The various forms of corrosion applicable to solid metal-liquid metal interactions are reviewed as it is shown that the most important property of a candidate containment material is its corrosion resistance. Data are presented which show that current technology can be used for proper material selection for temperatures up to 500C. However, for more severe applications, further research is required to define the mechanisms which control the corrosion processes in liquid lithium.
