The disclosure provides seals for devices that operate at elevated temperatures and have reactive metal vapors, such as lithium, sodium or magnesium. In some examples, such devices include energy storage devices that may be used within an electrical power grid or as part of a standalone system. The energy storage devices may be charged from an electricity production source for later discharge, such as when there is a demand for electrical energy consumption.

A method of enhancing the corrosion resistance of an austenitic steel includes removing material from at least a portion of a surface of the steel such that corrosion initiation sites are eliminated or are reduced in number relative to the number resulting from processing in a conventional manner. Material may be removed from the portion by any suitable method, including, for example, grit blasting, grinding and/or acid pickling under conditions more aggressive than those used in conventional processing of the same steel.
