    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, devices and methods for creep testing selected materials within a high-temperature molten salt environment. Exemplary creep testing systems include a load train for holding a test specimen under a load within a heated inert gas vessel. An extensometry system can be included to measure elongation of the test specimen while under load. The extensometry system can include fixed members and axially translating member that move along with the elongation of the test specimen, and the system can include a sensor to measure the relative axial motion between such components to measure elongation of the test specimen over time. The test specimen can include a cylindrical gage portion having an internal void filled with a molten salt during creep testing to simulate the corrosive effect of the molten salt on the specimen material during testing.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, devices and methods for stress-rupture testing selected materials within a high-temperature liquid salt environment. Exemplary testing systems include a load train for holding a test specimen within a heated inert gas vessel. A thermal break included in the load train can thermally insulate a load cell positioned along the load train within the inert gas vessel. The test specimen can include a cylindrical gage portion having an internal void filled with a molten salt during stress-rupture testing. The gage portion can have an inner surface area to volume ratio of greater than 20 to maximize the corrosive effect of the molten salt on the specimen material during testing. Also disclosed are methods of making a salt ingot for placement within the test specimen.
