Effect of KOH and dissolved hydrogen on oxide film and stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of Alloy X-750

The replacement of LiOH with KOH for pH control in the primary water of pressurized water reactors (PWRs) is being considered due to the growing cost of enriched 7Li. This study aims to investigate the susceptibility of the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) initiation in simulated prim...
