Behaviour of Lithium in Pb-17Li Systems

  • Chapter
Liquid Metal Systems

Abstract

The phase diagram [1] of the lead-lithium system shows a low melting point for the eutectic mixture with 17 at.% lithium (0.68 wt.%). The molten mixture with this composition is proposed as blanket material for fusion reactors. A number of newer publications describe properties of the eutectic [2-4]. The mixture will be used in the liquid state. Generally it is assumed, that there exists one liquid phase. In this, the compound LiPb is dissolved in lead.
