The National Research Council (CNR) is a public organization; its duty is to carry out, promote, spread, transfer and improve research activities in the main sectors of knowledge growth and of its applications for the scientific, technological, economic and social development of the Country. CNR centres are located all over Italy through a network of institutes aiming at promoting a wide diffusion of its competences throughout the national territory and at facilitating contacts and cooperation with national and international facilities.
In particular, in the Unit of Genoa, at the Institute for Energetic and Interphases (IENI), both sophisticated equipment and scientific “know-how” exist and are combined to evaluate the surface phenomena in liquid metals and their interactions with aggressive environments, by testing the potential materials in stagnant HLMs (lead) at high operational temperatures (T>550°C) as a function of oxygen partial pressure and time.
Complete information about product phases and their distributions at the interface are obtained by the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) in conjunction with the EDS (Energy Dispersive Spestroscopy).
