Corrosion of cast Stellite-3 analogue in simulated PWR conditions

Wear resistant alloys are required for deployment of pressurised water reactor primary circuits and in this context, the corrosion behaviour of a cast cobalt-based alloy following exposure for 30 days in lithiated water at 300°C was investigated. Corrosion of the surface was observed, re...

description Wear resistant alloys are required for deployment of pressurised water reactor primary circuits and in this context, the corrosion behaviour of a cast cobalt-based alloy following exposure for 30 days in lithiated water at 300°C was investigated. Corrosion of the surface was observed, resulting in the formation of a ~100 nm thick chromium and silicon-rich oxide. Preferential corrosion of the matrix at its interface with just one of the carbide types was observed to a depth of ~1 μm; for the first time this was found not due to any inhomogeneity in the matrix but was instead an electrochemical effect.
