The phenomena is complex and depends on environment, material composition, and hydrodynamic factors. Recently, modeling of flow assisted corrosion has become a subject of great importance. A key part of this effort is modeling the hydrodynamic aspects of this issue. This paper examines which hydrodynamic parameter should be used to correlate the occurrence and rate of flow assisted corrosion with physically meaningful parameters, discusses ways of measuring the relevant hydrodynamic parameter, and describes how the hydrodynamic data is incorporated into the predictive model.

Unter Material-Umgebungs-Belastungs-Bedingungen, wie sie in der Praxis anzutreffen sind, tritt keine Spannungsrisskorrosion uf, kann jedoch durch andere als die Prüfbedingungen induziert werden. Die Ergebnisse der Voraussagbartests sind nicht mit den beobachteten Rissbildungsempfindlichkeiten vereinbar.

Eine höhere NaOH-Konzentration (3-8 M) erschwert die Bildung einer Oxid-Schutzschicht und begünstigt die Korrosion, wobei Fortp?anzungsgeschwindigkeiten bis zu 0.1 mm/h erreicht werden. In 8 M NaOH wird Spannungsrisskorrosion in einem weiten Bereich in der Umgebung des Potentials der freien Korrosion beobachtet. Anodenpotentiale bewirken die Bildung einer dickeren Oxidschicht, Kathodenpotentiale fördern die allgemeine Auflösung.

Corrosion, 1981

The effects of the alloying additions vary with the environment, but Cr and Ti, in sufficient amounts, most frequently produced improvements in cracking resistance in the different solutions. The influences of the various alloying additions are mostly dependent upon their effects on dissolution and passivation characteristics, although their effects upon carbon distribution in the steel and mechanical properties are also of importance.

Research paper thumbnail of Stress corrosion cracking of type 316 stainless steel in caustic solutions: Crack velocities and leak before break considerations

Crack velocities, can be very rapid, up to 25 mm h-1 and depend on the molar concentration of caustic: Crack velocity = 1/16 [NaOH] 2. The notched specimens burst at caustic levels below 5 M and leaked at higher concentrations: in 2 M NaOH all transition joint samples leaked. Conditions favouring leaks were identified as non-uniform stress and rapid cracking.

Research paper thumbnail of Predicting and Preventing Flow Accelerated Corrosion in Nuclear Power Plant

Many theoretical models or empirical approaches have been developed to predict the possible occurrence, position, and rate of FAC. There are a number of parameters, which need to be incorporated into any model. Firstly there is a measure defining the hydrodynamic severity of the flow; this is usually the mass transfer rate. The development of roughness due to FAC and its effect on mass transfer need to be considered. Then most critically there is the derived or assumed functional relationship between the chosen hydrodynamic parameter and the rate of FAC. Environmental parameters that are required, at the relevant temperature and pH, are the solubility of magnetite and the diffusion coefficient of the relevant iron species. The chromium content of the steel is the most important material factor.

This paper reviews the complexities in predicting attack at the dissolution end of this spectrum. The importance of minor material and environmental parameters is noted but attention is focused on the relevant hydrodynamic parameter, the mass transfer coefficient and its determination. Complexities arise in respect to the actual relationship between the rate of attack and the mass transfer coefficient, and the influence of roughness which develops as a result of corrosion.
