The Role of Water Chemistry for Environmentally Assisted Cracking in Low-Alloy Reactor Pressure Vessel and Piping Steels under Boiling Water Reactor Conditions

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2005
The environmentally assisted initiation and propagation of cracks in structural materials is one of the most important degradation and ageing mechanisms in light water reactors (LWR) and may seriously affect plant availability and economics.

Hydrogen Assisted Fracture of 30MnB5 High Strength Steel: A Case Study

open access: yesMetals, 2020
When steel components fail in service due to the intervention of hydrogen assisted cracking, discussion of the root cause arises. The failure is frequently blamed on component design, working conditions, the manufacturing process, or the raw material ...

Recommendations and rants regarding research on environmentally assisted cracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Controversies concerning mechanisms and kinetics of environmentally assisted cracking seem to be increasing despite (or because of?) the accumulating numbers of papers and the increasing capabilities of techniques used to study the phenomena.

Impact of Chloride on the Environmentally-Assisted Crack Initiation Behaviour of Low-Alloy Steel under Boiling Water Reactor Conditions

open access: yesCorrosion and Materials Degradation, 2022
Low-alloy reactor pressure vessel steels have a rather low susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in a boiling water reactor (BWR) environment if the high-temperature water contains no anionic impurities.
