Materials Reliability Program: Stress Corrosion Crack Initiation Testing of Nickel-Base Alloys for Pressurized Water Reactor Applications—Part 1 (MRP-426)
In reactor pressure vessel boundary components made of nickel alloys, stress corrosion crack growth has been a key factor in setting inspection intervals and considering life extension of nuclear plants. EPRI now seeks to use stress corrosion crack initiation in the same way. Researchers conducted lab tests on stress corrosion crack initiation in Alloys 600/182 […]
