The effect of grain boundary structure on the intergranular degradation behavior of solution annealed alloy 690 in high temperature, hydrogenated water
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The environmental degradation of four different types of grain boundaries were investigated on alloy 690 following slow strain rate tensile tests in 360°C hydrogenated water. Random high angle boundaries (RHABs) support fast Cr diffusion that promotes the formation of a continuous surface oxide film and grain boundary migration. Surprisingly, coherent twin boundaries (CTBs) are susceptible to intergranular oxidation and do not exhibit Cr diffusion or grain boundary migration. When CTBs are changed to transformed twin boundaries (TTBs) by cold work, they behave like RHABs. Finally, incoherent twin boundaries (ITBs) undergo intergranular oxidation with limited Cr depletion but no boundary migration beyond the oxide. The Cr diffusivity along grain boundary in this alloy is directly related to the density of coincident site in the grain boundary plane and determines the morphology of oxide formed near the grain boundary. CTBs are still highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) due to the semi-coherent interface between the intergranular chromia and grain matrix. In contrast, the intergranular oxides formed along RHABs inherit highly-disordered boundary structure from the original grain boundaries and show much higher SCC susceptibility. The grain boundary structure dependence of SCC resistance should be understood from its effects on solute diffusivity, structure of intergranular oxide and the local stress-strain state.
