The intercrystalline corrosion in the stainless steel bead welding layer

  • 1. Southwest Inst. of Nuclear Reactor Engineering, Sichuan, SC (China)

Description

The intercrystalline corrosion in the austenitic stainless steel bead welding layer of reactor pressure vessel has been investigated. Very low carbon content can not prevent the intercrystalline corrosion, if there is little ferrite in microstructure. It has been understood that the technological factor inducing the microstructure was too slow cooling rate after welding. In addition, the effect of martensite on the intercrystalline corrosion and the orientation relation during precipitating chromium-rich carbide have been discussed
