Abstrakt: Compatibility of silicon carbide with molten lead-lithium eutectic has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and prolonged heating of α - SiC pellet in molten Pb-17Li eutectic alloy at 823K. Multiple peaks were present in the DSC analysis. However, XRD analysis has not shown any new phase formation, which indicated that no chemical reaction occurred. An experiment have also been carried out by dipping α - SiC pellet in molten Pb-17Li eutectic alloy at 823K for 500 h to check the solubility of α - SiC in molten Pb-17Li. Substantial mass loss of α-SiC pellet was observed which could be due to dissolution of α-SiC or its component into the eutectic melt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
