Tin brass cooling plate tube leakage in a nuclear power plant:reason analysis and countermeasures
Leakage occurred on tin brass cooling plate tubes of emergency ventilation system in a nuclear power plant.Thus
several investigations were carried out
such as the macroscopic examination
broken tube material analysis
corrosion product analysis
electrochemical analysis
macro and micro analysis of crack and fracture
and the fracture SEM analysis.The results showed that
stress corrosion cracking(SCC) occurred on the tin brass in nitrite environment in the cooling medium was considered as the major reason.One of the reason is the NH4+ formed by nitrite made the tin brass tube particularly sensitive to the SCC.On the other hand
residual stress on the tin brass tube exacerbated the stress corrosion tendency.Several measurements were put forward
like replacing the broken cooling plate tubes for red copper tubes
increasing the TTA content in corrosion inhibitor from 1.0 mg/kg to 10-20 mg/kg
