Abstract Sacrificial corrosion protection, a new use of Ti powder in molten salt blankets, is proposed. Redox reactions of mixed Ti powder into molten fluoride salts are predicted to suppress the TF corrosion of structural materials. Stainless Steel 430 (SS430) is immersed into FLiNaK containing HF at 823 K for 6 h. Before the immersion, the Ti powder either exposed to air or not exposed to air at all is mixed into FLiNaK. It has been found that either types of mixed Ti powder can suppress the HF corrosion of SS430.
