The nickel base weld metal Alloy 82 is used in various applications in boiling water reactors (BWRs). Applications that are vital from a safety point of view are e.g., welds between core shroud support legs and the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), and feedwater nozzle to safe end welds. Laboratory testing and service history have shown that Alloy 82 is susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in BWR environments. However, in comparison with Alloy 182, fewer failure cases have been reported, which could be related to the higher Cr content in Alloy 82 (~ 15 vs. ~ 20 %). It is also possible that the higher frequency of SCC in Alloy 182 is related to the wider use of this weld metal, and the larger surface area exposed to reactor water. Given the lower frequency of failures in Alloy 82, the database regarding SCC in BWR environments is much larger for Alloy 182.

Proposed Crack Growth Rate Disposition Curves For Stress Corrosion Cracking Of Alloy 82 In BWR Environments

Product Number: ED22-18349-SG

Author: Peter L. Andresen, Robert G. Carter, Katsuhiko Kumagai

Publication Date: 2022

SCC in Fe- and Ni-base alloys has been observed in high temperature water, both in the laboratory tests and in BWRs. SCC results from complex interactions of ~10 primary variables and hundreds of secondary variables, broadly categorized in terms of stress, environment and microstructure.

SCC Of Alloy 82 Weld Metal In BWR Water

There is extensive evidence from laboratory data and plant experience of the SCC susceptibility of Alloy 82 weld metal in both BWR and PWR environments. Two international expert panels evaluated laboratory data under PWR conditions and created disposition curves to address the effects of stress intensity factor (K), temperature, and other factors. Another expert panel is creating a disposition
curve under BWR conditions for K, temperature, corrosion potential, impurities, and other factors. Nickel alloy weld metals at lower Cr levels (~15% Cr for Alloy 182 and ~20% Cr for Alloy 82) are more susceptible to SCC than weld metals of higher Cr content (~30% Cr for Alloy 52/152). This paper focuses on on-thefly effects on SCC growth rate of Alloy 82 weld metal in BWR environments of corrosion potential, water
purity and temperature.
