Erosion, Corrosion and Foreign Object Damage Effects in Gas Turbines [Les consequences de l'endommagement des turbines I gaz par erosion, corrosion et objets étrangers]

The Conference Proceedings contains 31 papers presented at the Propulsion and Energetics Panel Symposium on Erosion, Corrosion and Foreign Object Damage Effects in Gas Turbines which was held from 25-28th April 1994, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Technical Evaluation Report and the Keynote Address are included at the beginning and discussions follow most papers. The Symposium was arranged in the following Sessions: Operational Experience and Requirements (7); Deposition and Erosion (7); Foreign Object Damage (5); Coatings, Repairs and Materials Aspects - 1 (4); Coatings, Repairs and Materials Aspects - 2 (7); and Testing and Certification Procedures (1).

Experimental and Computational Studies of Stress Corrosion Cracking of Alloys 308/309 and 82/182 Weldments in Corrosive and Radiation Environment

The goal of the project was to determine factors that influence SCC and IASCC in weldments found in LWR nuclear power plants. We focused on a SA508-304L SS weldment fabricated by EPRI using gas tungsten arc welding and used an aggressive BWR normal water chemistry (NWC) immersion environment. This weldment used 309L butter and 308L groove filler material. The microstructure of the 309L butter was non-uniform, exhibiting a 20–30μm thick martensitic layer closest to the SA508 interface, a 1–4 mm thick single γ austenite phase dilution zone, and a γ–δ duplex region extending to the 308L groove filler. The 308L groove filler had an entirely γ–δ duplex microstructure. Two approximately 1-inch thick 304L and SA508 plates approximately 12 by 6 square inches were joined using standard nuclear grade welding techniques. This included a post weld heat treatment of the 309L butter after application, a 0.32 cm fit-up root opening, and 57 bead lines of 308L groove filler applied in 18 layers. A 60 degree weld bevel angle was used and the 309L butter was 1.5 cm thick. Displacement cascade damage was induced using proton irradiation at the Michigan Ion Beam Laboratory. The incident proton energy was 2 MeV, the sample temperature was 360 ºC, and the calculated dpa value at 10 μm (60% of the Bragg peak depth of ~18 μm) was 5 dpa using the quick Kinchin-Pease model. Proton irradiation to this damage level required approximately 125 hours of beam time. Two types of samples were irradiated, tensile specimens and TEM bars. Samples were selected from all regions of the weldment, including the SA508-309L butter interface, the 309L-308L interface, and 308L-304L interface. The stainless steel alloys (304L, 308L, and 309L) within the heat affected zone are characterized by a duplex skeletal morphology of δ-ferrite and γ-austenite resulting from the recrystallization associated with weld fabrication. Approximately 7 to 8 mm of length along the specimen was irradiated. The gauge volume surfaces were mechanically polished and then electro-polished to remove mechanical damage from the mechanical polishing step prior to irradiation. Immersion tests were performed in a recirculating autoclave under BWR NWC conditions (2000 ppb wt. dissolved oxygen, neutral pH, 288 ºC, 10 MPa, and inlet water conductivity <100 nS/cm) to accelerate corrosion. Constant strain rate tests were performed either to failure or to approximately 5% strain. Strain rates of 10 -7 to 10 -6 mm/mm/s were used and typical immersion testing required four to six weeks to achieve failure or strains near 5%. Analysis primarily used advanced electron microscopy techniques of FIB lift out specimens.

An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of nickel and nickel-base alloy surface alterations in simulated hot corrosion conditions with emphasis on eventual application to turbine blade corrosion

The spectra of the pure metals tested and their oxides were used to analyze the patterns obtained for various superalloys. The quantitative results for two superalloys revealed differences between the surface compositions and their behavior under different conditions of oxidation. The following results occurred during the hot corrosion of samples in the presence of Na2So4: a lack of Ti migration; strong effects on Cr; and, a higher speed of alteration of superalloys.

Role of Material Condition in Precursor Corrosion Damage and Stress Corrosion Crack Initiation Behavior of Alloy 600 in PWR Primary Water

Stress corrosion crack (SCC) initiation testing has been performed on a 15% cold-worked UNS N06600 (Alloy 600) heat in the mill-annealed (MA), solution annealed (SA), and thermally treated (TT) conditions to assess the role of grain boundary (GB) carbides on stress-assisted intergranular attack (IGA) and short crack nucleation and growth. The SCC initiation tests were conducted at constant load equivalent to materials yield stress in 360oC simulated PWR primary water with dissolved hydrogen at the Ni/NiO stability line. Results revealed the highest SCC initiation susceptibility in the Alloy 600 MA material followed by the TT and SA materials, suggesting the GB carbide distribution did not have a controlling effect on SCC initiation resistance. Quantitative assessments were conducted on IGA and short cracks to help understand this phenomenon and the role of GB carbides on precursor damage development that lead to differences in macroscopic SCC initiation behavior are discussed.
