Abstract

Quantitative determinations of critical pitting potentials were carried out at temperatures of 150, 200, and 250 C on three corrosion resistant alloys important in the construction of nuclear steam generators, using an electrochemical technique specially adapted for this purpose. The results are assessed in terms of the effects on pitting resistance of chloride (as NaCl) and phosphate (as Na₂HPO₄ contents of the water and of test temperature. A direct comparison of material behavior was obtained for each set of test conditions.
