Popis: | This work investigates two austenitic stainless steels, Nitronic-50 and stainless steel 316, for use in both subcritical and supercritical water (SCW) conditions. The mechanical characteristics of the materials were investigated using slow strain rate testing in a SCW test loop under the following conditions: nitrogen at ambient temperature and pressure, liquid water at 473 K (200 °C) and 8 MPa, liquid water at 573 K (300 °C) and 15 MPa, and SCW at 698 K (425 °C) and 27 MPa. The surfaces of the failed samples were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Nitronic-50 was found to have superior mechanical strength characteristics at all conditions compared to stainless steel 316. At all elevated temperature conditions, stainless steel 316 was found to have a surface film consisting of iron oxides, while the surface film of Nitronic-50 predominantly consisted of nickel-iron spinel. |
