Constant extension rate tensile (CERT) tests are traditionally used to understand the influence of material composition, heat treatment, temperature and environmental variables on stress corrosion crack (SCC) initiation. However, fluid flow rate has not been investigated as a parameter that could affect SCC initiation until recently. These studies have exhibited longer time to failure under high flow conditions indicating delayed crack initiation. Because these experiments have been performed in highly oxygenated water, no correlation has been established between the influence of flow velocity on the electrochemical corrosion potential (ECP) and the time to failure of tensile test specimens. The interrelationship between the fluid flow velocity, ECP and the time to failure is of great interest to the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) applications primarily because of the previous observations that the ECP of Type 304 stainless steel increases with fluid flow velocity. This paper describes an attempt that has been made to understand the interrelationship between fluid flow velocity, ECP and the time for crack initiation in high temperature high purity water simulating both the BWR chemistry and the component flow velocity conditions. The range of flow velocities employed in the present study was 0.002 to 2 ft/s. The studies indicate that while high flow velocities can increase ECP there is a delayed effect on crack initiation. Keywords : Crack Initiation, Stress Corrosion Cracking, High Temperature, Flow Velocity, Constant Extension Rate Tensile Tests.
