An insight into PWR primary water SCC mechanisms by comparing surface and crack oxidation
Oxidation and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of 316L stainless steel were studied in simulated pressurized water reactor primary water. Surface, crack flank, and crack tip oxides were analyzed and compared by high-resolution characterization, including oxidation state mapping. All oxides were found...
