Abstract
The effect of thermal aging (0 h- 10000 h at 400 °C) on the corrosion fatigue behavior of domestic 316LN stainless steel in a simulated PWR water environment was investigated. Results demonstrated that thermal aging had a significant influence on the crack initiation mechanism. After thermal aging, the dislocation structure of 316LN gradually became ordered, formed planar dislocation arrays, extended dislocations, and stacking faults. During the corrosion fatigue process, the cyclic deformation mechanism of 316LN shifted from cross slip to dominant single slip, accompanied by the formation of deformation twinning, which reduced crack initiation sources, hindered crack propagation, and increased the corrosion fatigue life. A corrosion fatigue life environmental correction factor (Fen) model considering thermal aging time parameters of 316LN is proposed.
