Understanding of the stress assisted cracking behavior of Ni-based alloy GH3535 in molten LiF-NaF-KF salt
Environmentally assisted cracking of structural materials is an important concern to the safe operation of advanced nuclear reactors. In the present study, the responses of Ni-based alloy GH3535 to the combined effects of tensile stress and molten fluoride salt corrosion was investigated using constant load tensile testing alongside with specimens tested in Ar. The results indicated that extensive intergranular cracking occurred in specimens tested in both environments, however, specimens tested in the molten salt had a much faster displacement/creep rate than those tested in Ar. All the cracks were internally initiated within the sub-surface region of the specimens, with no cracking observed in the substrate. For specimens tested in Ar, most of the cracks were found to be beneath the surface, whereas the cracks propagated to the surface and penetrated deeper to the substrate for specimens tested in the molten salt. All the cracks were confirmed to be creep cracks, and it was found that initiation of the internal creep cracks was promoted by the deformation induced by the surface machining process. Furthermore, increased creep rates for specimens tested in molten salt was due to stress concentration at the crack tips, caused by the fracture of the interconnected, topmost recrystallized fine-grained layer.
