Abstract

The effects of the stress intensity factor and dissolved hydrogen on the crack growth rate in primary water reactor environments was investigated with alloy 600 with continuous carbide films at grain boundaries. A primary water stress corrosion cracking of intergranular fracture mode was observed. The intergranular crack growth rate decreased with a decreasing stress intensity factor, and the dissolved hydrogen content influenced the crack growth rate. Such results are consistent with those reported previously.
