Corrosion and Materials Degradation, Volume 6, Issue 2

2025 June - 13 articles

Cover Story: Alloy 600 (Ni-15Cr-8Fe) and Alloy 690 (Ni-28Cr-8Fe) serve as piping that transports primary water (at 320 °C and 155 bar) from a pressurized water nuclear reactor to the steam generator. The schematic illustrates the facility in which surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is employed to probe the very thin (≈25 nm) surface films that protect the alloys against significant corrosion. The autoclave in which the Ni–Cr samples are exposed to simulated primary water is presented in the background. The autoclave is fitted with a sapphire window through which the laser is incident on the sample and the surface enhanced Raman scattered light of the surface film exits the autoclave. View this paper
