Corrosion and mass transport of austenitic and ferritic steels exposed in two 10 000 h corrosion tests to liquid sodium at 550° C are described. Results of weight losses, carbon analysis and mechanical properties after exposure to sodium as well as argon atmosphere are given. A partial explanation is given for observed corrosion and mass transport in a multi‐component mass tranfer system.
