Electrochemical properties of steels for NPP in reactor water at 90-300 deg C

Description

Effect of the chloride concentration and medium pH on the cyclic resistance to cracks of structural steels is investigated with the aim of provision for their operation reliability. The steels are studied in the nuclear reactor water of boron control with NaCl and HCl additions at 300 deg C. It is shown that the main mechanism of effect of oxygen-free reactor water with operating parameters on the resistance to crack of NPP materials is hydrogen embrittlement of the metal decrushing zone whereas the anode solution is an attendant factor. 19 refs., 4 figs
