Some corrosion failure mechanisms of AMTEC cells

Simulated models of four existing types of alkali metal thermoelectric converter (AMTEC) devices were chosen for this study. Each cell model was analyzed to determine whether metal is dissolved by sodium from cell materials and is deposited in regions that can degrade performance of the cell. Results of the study show that each cell model has at least one failure mode caused by dissolution of metal from the AMTEC surfaces.
