Description

The following conclusions are based on the out-of-pile general corrosion and localized attack studies completed to-date on several 300 series stainless steels: (1) Utilizing a sodium chloride-cycle test that produces a type failure that can occur in a superheat reactor system, Types 347 and vacuum-melted 304 SS have failed while vacuum-melted 310 SS was acceptable. (2) An improved chloride cycle test utilizing ferric chloride as the additive has been developed that produces an intergranular type failure similar to that experienced in the fuel cladding failures in the SADE and ESADE facilities. types 304 and 315 SS have failed in the … continued below

(3) Present methods of ultrasonic testing will find through cracks but are not completely dependable for assessing lesser degrees of intergranular attack. (4) It is hypothesized that a definite interplay exists between chemical attack and stress. The application of stress will orient intergranular attack preferentially in a direction perpendicular to the stress.
