Description:
The following summary is not intended as a complete or definitive specification of the requirement. A purpose of this engagement is to seek information from the market to help refine our understanding and aid the development of a future specification. UKIFS is seeking to understand the possible development of Lithium Lead (LiPb) of varying compositions to for breeder blanket applications. A short-term experimental programme, aimed to address key concerns over thermophysical and chemical compatibility is required. UKIFS would like to assess risks in LiPb stability and phase separation at higher Li contents, as well as understand corrosion effects, with and without non-metallic impurities in the molten metal. This project aims to manufacture and carry out an initial screening assessment of the chemistry and thermophysical properties of LiPb as a function of Li content. The stability of compositions and uptake of impurities will also be quantified. Ingots of lithium lead eutectic of 17, 30, 40 and 50% lithium will be manufactured and characterised. Materials testing, consisting of static or stirred corrosion testing of SiC and steel samples will inform the changes to LiPb properties and impact to structural materials of corrosive reactions. Our aim is to complete Work Packages 1-4 by 31st March 2026 and we acknowledge that the proposed timescale for the delivery of the outlined requirements is ambitious. In recognition of this, we welcome suppliers to provide alternative approac...
