摘要
Results obtained from investigations of erosion-corrosion processes that occur during operation of the feedwater supply control systems used in power units of nuclear power stations equipped with RBMK-1000 reactors and the sensitivity of these processes to variations in the chemical composition of metal and in the flow path geometry are presented. It is found that local erosion-corrosion thinning of the walls in the diffuser segments of feedwater supply control systems occur mainly due to intense mass transfer in the near-wall region taken in combination with a low content of chromium. Hydrodynamic simulation was carried out, and it was shown based on its results that local erosion-corrosion thinning of the walls of pipeline segments downstream of the valves controlling the supply of feedwater to power units of nuclear power stations equipped with RBMK-1000 reactors can be prevented by subjecting them to appropriate modernization. It is found that the above mentioned diffuser parts can be made more resistant to erosion-corrosion wear by keeping the content of chromium in the main metal and weld joints at a level of no less than 0.25% and concurrently reducing the hydrodynamic effect in the zones of weld connections. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
