Atomistic mechanism of corrosion-induced grain boundary migration in NiCr alloys in molten FLiNaK
Corrosion of Ni Cr structural alloys in molten fluoride salts is a persistent material degradation problem, yet the atomistic role of grain boundaries in this process remains poorly understood. Here we use reactive molecular dynamics to investigate corrosion of NiCr alloys in molten FLiNaK across four representative grain boundaries ($\Sigma3(111)$, $\Sigma11(113)$, $\Sigma5(012)$, and $\Sigma5(013)$) and correspo...
