Modeling for secondary side cracking is needed to understand the behavior of alloy 600 in plants. They require a comprehensive understanding of the various influences of the material properties on Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC), based on field experience and laboratory data. In an attempt to predict the materials effects on SCC behavior of new steam generators, laboratory corrosion data of alloy 690 were overviewed. French field experience with steam generators equipped with drilled tube support plates (TSPS) has demonstrated that the lower the yield stress (YS) and the carbon content, the higher the susceptibility to secondary side cracking of mill-annealed (MA) alloy 600. Also heat treated (700 C x 16 h) tubing has been shown to have a much better resistance, but this excellent resistance could not be attributed only to the material properties. In laboratory environments, particularly in caustics, results have confirmed several of the above mentioned key findings on alloy 600.
