Abstract

Electrochemical noise (EN) signals arising from stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of 304 stainless steel (SS) in borated and lithiated high-temperature water were monitored. Acoustic emission (AE) signals were simultaneously measured to relate the EN signals with the SCC process. Through Weibull analysis of the EN signals, it was demonstrated that the EN technique can in-situ capture the SCC events in high-temperature water. With evolution of the SCC process, Hilbert time-frequency spectrum of the EN signals gradually migrated from high frequency to low frequency. The capacity of EN and AE techniques to monitor the SCC process in high-temperature water is compared.
