Insights on the corrosion thermodynamics of chromium in molten LiF-NaF-KF eutectic salts

Abstract The thermodynamic stability of chromium in the Cr0, Cr2+, and Cr3+ oxidation states considering various F− ion coordination compounds was investigated in molten LiF–NaF-KF (FLiNaK) eutectic salt. Potential fluoride ion activity (F− and CrF3 −) diagrams were constructed to predict the most s...
