Effect of oxide film on ECT detectability of surface IGSCC in laboratory-degraded alloy 600 steam generator tubing

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) widely found in both primary and secondary sides of steam generator (SG) tubing in pressurized water reactors (PWR) has become an important safety issue. Using eddy-current tests (ECTs), non-destructive evaluations are performed for the integrity management of SG tube...
