摘要
The stress corrosion cracking behaviour of Alloy 600 in caustic solutions with and without Pb0 at 315 degrees C was investigated by means of slow strain rate tension tests. The characterisation of the oxide that formed on Alloy 600 was derived from transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Lead was incorporated into the oxide in a metallic lead state and a lead oxide state, which degraded the passivity and induced PbSCC susceptibility. NiB was used as an inhibitor. It reduced the lead incorporation level in the oxide layer and decreased PbSCC susceptibility.
