Abstract
At present,  the problem of providing corrosion resistance of steels in heavy liquid metal  coolants is solved by forming and maintaining protective oxide films on the  surfaces of structural steels. However, oxide films are not absolutely  impermeable barriers for the components of steels (primarily iron), which, as a  result of diffusion processes, inevitably enter the coolant and can interact  with oxygen to form solid-phase oxides. Within the framework of this work, a method  is considered for obtaining the numerical values of the quantities  characterizing the processes of dissociation of iron oxides as a function of  temperature and oxygen potential of HLMC. The performed calculations made it  possible to obtain specific numerical values of the limiting solubilities of  iron oxides as a function of the temperature and the initial state of the  coolant with respect to iron and oxygen impurities, and also made it possible  to obtain numerical values of other thermodynamic parameters characterizing the  current and limiting state of HLMC. The considered approach is of a general  nature and can be used in experimental studies of the kinetic and thermodynamic  characteristics of the dissociation processes of compounds in liquid metals.
