Results show that the untreated samples were severely selective leaching in contact with liquid LBE. LTON treatment produced an outer porous Fe-Cr spinel film and inner S phase layer on the sample surface, which transformed into a thicker spinel film containing γlow-N and a region distributed with CrN precipitates after liquid LBE corrosion. This was mainly attributed to the oxidation and decomposition of S phase and inward diffusion of the interstitials, owing to S phase is a metastable phase and is easier to be oxidized than matrix at elevated temperatures. This inspired us that improving the ability to form protective oxide film for materials was maybe a good method to mitigate the liquid LBE corrosion.
