Alloy optimization for PWR steam generator heat-transfer tubing

Persistent issues of corrosion degradation, both on the tubing inner diameter (ID) [primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC)] and OD [intergranular attack (IGA) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC)] surfaces led to efforts to optimize the metallurgical characteristics of Alloy 600.1,2 The init...

Summary:Persistent issues of corrosion degradation, both on the tubing inner diameter (ID) [primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC)] and OD [intergranular attack (IGA) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC)] surfaces led to efforts to optimize the metallurgical characteristics of Alloy 600.1,2 The initial product of this research was a special thermal treatment, performed after final mill annealing to effect intergranular carbide precipitation; this product exhibited enhanced resistance to SCC and was designated...
