The compatibility of candidate materials for insulating ceramic coatings (Y2O3, Al2O3, MgO, 3Al2O3–MgO, AlN (60%)–BN (40%) and BN) with liquid metal breeders such as metallic lithium and lithium–lead alloy (Li17–Pb83) was investigated at 773 K up to 5 Ms by monitoring weight change, structural integrity and electrical resistivity. Oxides such as Al2O3and 3Al2O3–MgO were severely corroded and dissolved or broken by lithium, while MgO was corroded uniformly with a moderate rate (e.g. 27 μm for 4.8 Ms). The most thermodynamically stable Y2O3was less corroded and showed a slight decrease in electrical resistivity due to the formation of non-stoichiometric Y2O3−x. On the other hand, no oxides were corroded at all by Li17–Pb83. These results were in good agreement with thermodynamical predictions, and most of the oxides maintained their high electrical resistivity even after the corrosion test in liquid lithium. Nitrides such as AlN–BN and BN were corroded by lithium and became fragile because impurities included in the specimens were dissolved in the lithium.
