Abstract
The stress corrosion cracking behavior of high-strength Ni-base Alloy X-750 and Alloy 718 has been investigated to assess the effect of replacing LiOH with KOH as the pH moderator in pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary circuit coolant. The SCC initiation behavior of X-750 was evaluated by multi-tensile specimen constant load test in either LiOH- or KOH- containing PWR primary water. The SCC growth behavior of X-750 and Alloy 718 was evaluated on compact tension specimens with on-the-fly changes between LiOH- and KOH-containing water in three different PWR primary water chemistries. Direct current potential drop technique was used for in-situ monitoring of crack initiation time and crack extension in SCC initiation and propagation tests, respectively. The results suggest no significant effect of KOH vs. LiOH on the SCC initiation or propagation of the tested materials.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
