摘要
Three austenitic alloys with different Ni content were stress corrosion cracking (SCC) tested in simulated pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary water at 320 and 360 ?C. Diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM) associated with preferential intergranular oxidation (PIO) is observed ahead of all SCC crack tips. The occurrence of DIGM is revealed to be driven by PIO-induced diffusion of Cr, Fe, and Ni. The extent of DIGM is controlled by the lateral and in-depth elemental diffusion and PIO, with these processes interconnected. Temperature and alloy composition are revealed to affect the extent of DIGM by affecting these processes.
