Abstract

The corrosion behavior of a 304 oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) austenitic stainless steel after being exposed to supercritical water (SCW) with dissolved oxygen of 300 ppb at 600 °C/25 MPa was studied. By the means of a least-square fit, the weight gain (Δw) of the samples as a function of exposure time (t) could be described by the equation Δw = 8.011 × t0.459. An approximately parabolic time law in this specified SCW environment can be assumed. A triple protective oxide layer formed on the surface of the metal with the exposure time up to 1000 h. Furthermore, the result of slow-strain rate tensile (SSRT) test indicated that the 304-ODS austenitic stainless steel was not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in SCW at 600 °C/25 MPa.
