Analysis of residual stresses in girth welded type 304 stainless steel pipes

  • 1. Battelle, Columbus Lab, Ohio, USA

Description

Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in boiling water reactor (BWR) piping is a problem for the nuclear power industry. Tensile residual stresses induced by welding are an important factor in IGSCC of Type 304 stainless steel pipes. Backlay and heat sink welding can retard IGSCC. 17 refs
