This book was released on 1984 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of low-level environmental impurities, test temperature, sensitization heat treatment, and surface condition on crack initiation have been examined in Type 304 stainless steel in constant extension rate stress corrosion cracking tests. Tests were conducted at 288, 200 and 125°C in pure water environments containing 0.2, 0.2, and 1.8 ppm of dissolved oxygen, respectively. At 288°C in highly sensitized specimens, cracks initiated at less than 20% of life in pure water, with impurities accelerating initiation. The bulk pH affected initiation and failure strains, while increasing conductivity at neutral pH affected only strain to failure. At lower temperatures or lesser degrees of sensitization, crack initiation occurred later in life and impurity additions had a stronger impact. Shot-peening reduced the strain to initiation in constant extension rate tests, most noticeably at 125°C. The minimal data available for comparison support the findings of this study.

Book excerpt: In order to predict when and how a material will crack under environmental conditions, engineers used to subject it to pressure for a long time, up to a year in cases; about 20 years ago, a testing method was developed that slowly but inexorably increases the pressure, which seems to cut down the ti

This book was released on 1985 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of austenitic stainless steels in high-temperature water is controlled by environmental variables (e.g., dissolved oxygen, corrosion potential, impurities), microstructure (e.g., degree of sensitization), and strain rate. A phenomenological model based on the slip-dissolution mechanism and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics is presented to quantitatively describe the effects of both environment-related parameters and strain rate on SCC in constant extension rate tests. The model predictions are in good agreement with the results of tests performed on Types 304, 316, and 316NG stainless steel at different strain rates in a wide variety of environments relevant to boiling-water reactors.

This book was released on 1985 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) of sensitized Type 304 stainless steel (SS) has been a recurrent problem in the high-temperature water environment of boiling-water-reactors (BWRs) over the past two decades. The synergistic effects of environmental and material variables on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Type 304 SS were investigated at 289°C by means of constant-extension-rate-tensile (CERT) tests at a strain rate of 1 x 10−6/s. Correlations among environmental variables (dissolved oxygen and impurity concentrations, viz., H2SO4, steady-state open-circuit electro-chemical potential) and the SCC susceptibility parameters have been determined. The extensive results over a wide range of open-circuit corrosion potential conditions were analyzed by a model which accounts for the effects of environmental variables, microstructure (e.g., degree of sensitization) and strain rate. The results are consistent with a slip-dissolution mechanism for SCC. Furthermore, representation of the dependence of corrosion potential and average crack growth rate on the dissolved oxygen concentration of the water by a simple mathematical function, in conjunction with the theoretical model, enables predictions of both strain rate and environmental effects on the SCC susceptibility of sensitized Type 304 SS. 12 refs., 7 figs.

Download or read book The Effect of Cold Rolling on the Susceptibility of Austenitic Stainless Steel to Stress Corrosion Cracking in Primary Circuit Pressurised Water Reactor Environment written by David Marc Wright and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of components which are fabricated from austenitic stainless steel has been observed in the primary circuit of pressurised water reactors (PWR). In recent years it has become an increasing concern that cold work can induce susceptibility to SCC in these materials, even when exposed to good-quality flowing coolant. Laboratory studies which were launched in response to this observation have confirmed that SCC susceptibility is enhanced by cold work. The intention of this study is therefore to investigate the link between the effects of cold work on the material and the susceptibility to SCC. The investigation has been conducted on a grade 304 austenitic stainless steel. Characterisation of the microstructure and mechanical properties has been carried out in the annealed condition, and following cold rolling to a reduction in thickness of 20 %. The cold rolled material has then been subjected to SCC tests in simulated PWR primary circuit coolant. Two types of test were utilised: slow strain rate tests (SSRTs) were carried out in order to investigate the initiation of cracks from a smooth surface and constant load tests using pre-cracked specimens were used to investigate the crack propagation behaviour. In both types of test the SCC produced was predominantly intergranular. The SSRTs revealed that the most susceptible grain boundaries separated grains which had dissimilar deformation microstructures (one grain deformed heavily by planar bands, the other more homogenously). It was also observed that initiation could occur on a grain boundary which is adjacent to an annealing twin. In both microstructural configurations the susceptibility is likely to be due to the deformation incompatibility across the failed boundary, possible indicating that shear at the boundary is important for the initiation of cracking. The crack propagation behaviour of the rolled material was particularly anisotropic; regardless of the loading direction (specimens were manufactured to allow loading along the rolling, transverse and normal plate directions) cracking was observed to occur parallel to the rolling-transverse plane. The origin of this behaviour was explored in terms of preferential alignment of the deformation microstructure and the anisotropic mechanical properties of the rolled plate. Limited transgranular cracking was also observed, which occurred along oxidised deformation bands. The results overall indicate that heterogeneous deformation between different regions of the material, and preferential alignment of the deformation microstructure are important with respect to the SCC susceptibility of the rolled material.
