Abstract
An Inconel 690 alloy tube acting as a steam generator tube has been widely applied in the second and third generations of nuclear power plants using pressurized water reactors. However, its entire service process is always accompanied by high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) liquid medium corrosion and various fretting mechanical damage behaviors. This study first immerses the Inconel 690 alloy tube in HTHP corrosive medium for different lengths of time (0, 4, 8, and 12 h); then, a fretting tribo-corrosion test rig is used to investigate the effect of different fretting mechanical parameters on the surface damage mechanism and electrochemical dynamic response of each test sample. Results show that the corrosion rate of the Inconel 690 alloy tube has significantly increased after being treated by HTHP immersion corrosion, which is mainly due to the pre-existing corrosion products.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
