Abstract

The effects of Zn injection into boric acid and lithium hydroxide solutions on the corrosion behaviors of 316LN stainless steel (SS) in simulated hot functional test (HFT) high-temperature pressurized water at 573 K were investigated. Low concentration of lithium hydroxide solutions with 20–100 ppb Zn injection are recommended for Zn-injected HFT water chemistry and the beneficial effects of Zn injection into both HFT and primary coolant water chemistry are confirmed in view of the protective properties of the oxide films on 316LN SS. The Zn injection involved corrosion mechanism during HFT is discussed.
