Oxidation kinetics of 316l stainless steel in the pressurised water reactor environment

With a view to improving the prediction of primary water stress corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steels, this investigation measured the oxide growth kinetics of 316L stainless steel when exposed to a simulated primary water environment of a pressurised water reactor (PWR). It is generally...
