QUALIFICATION OF INCONEL FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT APPLICATIONS
Corrosion tests were conducted in simulated primary and secondary reactor waters on Inconel specimens in varied conditions of heat treatment and composition. Stressed specimens, weldments, galvanic couples, and crevice specimens were included. Under all conditions a tightly adherent film formed on the specimens and the corrosion rates were comparable to those of austenitic stainless steels. The Inconel alloy does not suffer intergranular attack or stress corrosion cracking in reactor waters. (auth)
