Stress corrosion of austenitic steels in a sodium-soda medium

  • 1. CEA, 75 - Paris (France)

Description

Stress corrosion was studied on the materials (alloy 800, 316 and 316 L, stainless steels, etc...) used for fast breeder reactor secondary loops containing soda-contaminated sodium at 4000C to 5500C. Under particularly severe conditions (exposure for 1000 hours at up to 10 % soda content) an intergranular stress corrosion cracking process was observed above a temperature-dependent stress threshold.
