the effect of sulfate mass concentration in primary circuit water of the pressurized water reactor(PWR) on stress corrosion cracking(SCC) sensitivity of Z3CN20.09 casted austenitic stainless steel(CASS) was investigated. The results show that
necking occurred near the fracture after the SSRT of Z3CN20.09 CASS in 6 water environments. In normal PWR water containing no SO_4~(2–)
the elongation to fracture of Z3CN20.09 CASS was the largest
and the rupture surfaces were dimple-like facets
indicating that the Z3CN20.09 CASS has excellent SCC resistance under this condition. SSRT samples showed significant SCC sensitivity in high-temperature water containing 100~1 500 μg/L SO_4~(2–)
and the fracture showed transgranular plus dimple mixed face. The corrosion sensitivity of different phases and phase boundaries to SO_4~(2–) and the deterioration effect of SO_4~(2–) on passive film on the alloy surface are thought to be the key factors for enhancing localized corrosion and SCC.
