Abstract
The corrosion behavior of thermally treated (TT) alloy 690 steam generator (SG) tubes was studied in a wet steam environment at 320 °C with the addition of S and Pb. These pollutants are known to accumulate in heat transfer crevices in SGs and can contribute to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Oxide penetrations were observed at the oxide-metal interface in both S-only and Pb/S-polluted environments. Characterization by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed a growth of the oxide penetrations along {111} slip planes of the alloy and traces of S and Pb at the oxide-metal interface. Characterization results have enabled us to propose a model to explain the formation of these oxide penetrations and the potential role of Pb and S on them.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
