Effects of thermal history and segregation on the susceptibility of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of an alloy 182-A533B dissimilar weld joint in high temperature, oxygenated water doped with SO4 2- and Cl- was evaluated by creviced bent beam test. Results indicate that step cooling and the addition of Cl- promoted SCC propagation and reactivation in HAZ. It is also suggested that compositional changes induced by welding and step cooling, especially the segregation of ph...

Correlation between phosphorus segregation and stress corrosion cracking susceptibility in the heat affected zone of an A533B-A182 dissimilar weld joint

Grain boundary (GB) segregation of phosphorus and alloying elements in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of an Alloy182- A533B dissimilar weld joint used in nuclear reactor pressure vessels was studied quantitatively by three-dimensional atom probe tomography. Non-equilibrium segregation occurred during welding and post-weld heat treatment, leading to remarkable enrichment of P, C, Mn and Mo at GBs, of which the levels were all microstructure- dependent. After step cooling, P and Mn showed further increase ...
