Abstract
The susceptibilities to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of two carbon steels, SA106-grB and SA333-gr6, which are used in seamless BWR piping, and a low-alloy pressure vessel steel, A508-C12, were studied in high puity water as a function of oxygen concentration (0. 16 to 8 ppm) and temperature (50 to 288 degree C). The susceptibility to SCC was measured using the slow strain rate technique. The fracture surfaces of the test specimens were also examined using SEM to determine the mode of failure. It was found that increasing fluid velocity increased the induction time for SCC in the high temperature (250 degree C) environment.
