    Abstract

    General corrosion tests and slow strain rate tensile tests (SSRT) were done on 9-20% Cr oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels in supercritical water at 550 and 650oC with 100-150 ppb dissolved oxygen. Based on the results, Al-alloyed high Cr ODS steels PM2000 and MA956 have superior corrosion resistance when compared to 9-14% Cr ODS steels. In SCW at 550oC and above, it is considered that the minimum Cr-content for thin walled components should be higher than 14%. The results indicate that the ODS steels are less susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) than austenitic stainless steels or Ni-base alloys in supercritical water. However, more extensive studies with different water chemistries and strain rates should be made.
