Abstract
The materials selection for Gen IV supercritical water
reactor in-core components faces major challenges due to
severe operating condition. The current Canadian
pressure-tube supercritical water (SCW) concept design
requires core outlet temperature of 650°C at 25 MPa with
peak cladding temperature reaching as high as 850°C.
Aside from other challenges, there is currently very
limited data on candidate stainless steels' corrosion
resistance under this operating condition. Austenite
stainless steels that include 316L, 304H, AL6XN and 310S
that cover a wide range of Cr contents are promising
candidates for either direct in core applications or as
base coating materials. However, their corrosion
resistance has not been tested systematically under this
stringent condition. In this study, these types of
stainless steels are tested, and their corrosion
resistances are compared.
