摘要
Low-frequency fatigue tests at load ratios 0.8 and 0.9 and constant load tests were run on sensitized type 304 (UNS S30400) stainless steel (SS), type 316 nuclear grade SS and nickel-base alloy 600 (UNS N06600) in simulated boiling water reactor environments. The environments simulated normal water chemistry (NWC) and hydrogen water chemistry with 15 or 5 ppb O2, clean or with sulfate. Oxygen enhanced cracking of type 304 SS and alloy 600, but not type 316. Under constant load conditions, crack propagation was always low in clean environments. Sulfate enhanced cracking in all three materials, most in type 304 SS and least in type 316. Crack enhancement due to 0.1 ppm sulfate was worse under constant load than under fatigue load conditions for type 304 SS in NWC up to a factor of 100 in constant load and a factor of 10 in fatigue.
