Description

Experience with stabilized austenitic steels that do not undergo sensitization and are not subject to IGSCC is reported. The historical development is outlined and the causes of sensitization are dealt with. The specification of X6CrNiNb1810 steel is treated in detail. Manufacturing and welding of stabilized austenitic steels is discussed together with operating experience from KWU nuclear power plants
