The Mechanism of Stress Corrosion Cracking in Sensitized Austenitic Stainless Steels in Nuclear Power Reactor Heat Transport Circuits Digby D. Macdonald and Jiangbo Shi Department of Nuclear Engineering University of California at Berkeley Berkeley, CA, USA. macdonald@berkeley.edu Presented at SUSTECH 2014 Portland, OR July 24 – 26, 2014 Outline • Experimental determination of the electrochemical/mechanical character • Development of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to establish relationships between the dependent variable (crack growth rate, CGR) and the independent variables (K , ECP, conductivity, temperature, pH, I degree of sensitization, flow velocity). • Determination of the relative impact of each independent variable on the dependent variable, in order to determine the “character” of IGSCC. • A viable physico-electrochemical, deterministic/mechanistic model should reflect that same character, since it must be based upon a general empitical model. • One candidate model is the Coupled Environment Fracture Model (CEFM), which is a mechanico-electrochemical model previously developed by Macdonald and co-workers to predict CGR in sensitized Type 304SS in BWR primary coolant environments. • Summary of the findings and the conclusions drawn therefrom. The SEM morphologies of the fracture Interaction of parameters in surface of the 316L weld HAZ specimen affecting IGSCC in stainless ste
