Effect of Tensile Stress on the Oxide Properties of a Nickel-Based Alloy 600 in Simulated PWR Secondary Water

The purpose of this work was to examine the effect of tensile stress on the oxide properties of a nickel-based Alloy 600 that was exposed to simulated nuclear steam generator water at 340 °C for 1000 h. The size of the outer oxide particles increased, and the chromium content of the inner oxides dec...

Sumario:The purpose of this work was to examine the effect of tensile stress on the oxide properties of a nickel-based Alloy 600 that was exposed to simulated nuclear steam generator water at 340 °C for 1000 h. The size of the outer oxide particles increased, and the chromium content of the inner oxides decreased under tensile stress. Electrochemical measurements revealed that the charge carrier density increased, and the charge transfer resistance and film resistance were reduced under the tensile stress condition. These changes in the oxide properties are attributed to the formation of short diffusion paths such as line and surface defects due to tensile deformation.
