51318-10979-Pitting corrosion of steam generator tubing alloys in chloride solutions with thiosulfate additions

Picture for Pitting corrosion of steam generator tubing alloys in chloride solutions with thiosulfate additions
Available for download

Alloys UNS N06600, N06690 and N08800 are used for steam generator tubes. Pitting corrosion was studied in 0.1 to 1 M chloride solutions with additions of thiosulfate ranging from 10-4 M to 10-2 M, at room temperature. The alloys were tested in solution annealed and thermally aged conditions.

Alloys UNS N06600, N06690 and N08800 used for steam generator tubes are prone to pitting corrosion in aqueous chloride-thiosulfate solutions. Pitting corrosion was studied in 0.1 to 1 M chloride solutions with additions of thiosulfate ranging from 10-4 M to 10-2 M, at room temperature. The alloys were tested in solution annealed and thermally aged conditions. Potentiodynamic curves showed an anodic peak at potentials slightly higher than ECORR in N06690 and N08800 for both metallurgical conditions. This peak results from a localized corrosion process that was named low potential pitting corrosion (LPPC), because pits repassivated when potential was scanned in the noble direction, and also to distinguish it from the conventional chloride pitting process observed at higher potentials. Cyclic potential scans up to potentials in the LPPC zone showed a hysteresis loop and repassivation potentials (ERP,LPPC) were very close to ECORR measured under deaerated conditions. According to the measured values of ERP,LPPC, N06690 was more resistant to pitting corrosion than N08800. Immersion tests in aerated 1 M NaCl with [Cl-]/[S2O32-] = 2000 led to pitting corrosion in all alloys, while in deaerated conditions, only N08800 was pitted.
