OSTI ID:5245273
The induction heating stress improvement (IHSI) program described in this final report optimized and qualified a method to mitigate the occurrence of intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in austenitic stainless steel piping. The method produces beneficial compressive residual stresses at the inside wall surface (and subsurface) of a pipe weldment. It is intended for use on susceptible weld heat-affected zones in type-304 and type-316 stainless steel piping systems now in plants where other improvement methods are not practical. The IHSI process was extensively qualified as an IGSCC remedy for BWR piping, and plant reliability will be significantly enhanced by IHSI treatment.
