GROWTH OF CORROSION CRACKS

Relationship between corrosion crack growth rate and stress intensity factor, based on the static corrosion
crack resistance diagram, is described. The main working hypothesis on the discrete nature of crack growth
in structural steel is confirmed.
Keywords: welded structures, NPP steam generator,
static corrosion crack resistance diagram, structural
steel, corrosion cracks, electron microscopy, stress intensity
factor, hydrogen embrittlement
Corrosion cracks are among the most dangerous
defects formed in modern durable steel structures.
In a number of cases the process of initiation
and formation of such defects is hard to
determine. Therefore, duration of this process of
formation of corrosion cracks may substantially
change with time, depending on rather small
changes in specific factors.
Under these conditions, of high importance is
to timely detect the formed corrosion crack and
determine the kinetics of its growth with time
during operation of a corresponding structure.
Very often the latter is crucial and requires accumulation
and generalisation of the corresponding
experimental data. So, the present study is
dedicated particularly to this issue.
Welded joint 111 (Figure 1) in steam generators
PG-1000 of modern power units of watermoderated
water cooled reactor WWER-1000
considered in this study involves a problem in
this respect, as each of units of this NPP comprises
four steam generators. 13 such units at 4
NPPs with a service life of 8 to 28 years are in
operation now in Ukraine.
The first defects in welded joints 111 were
detected in Ukraine in 2003 at the South-Ukrainian
NPP. Before that, such cracks in joints 111
were detected at the Novovoronezhskaya and Kalininskaya
NPPs in Russia, whish had been in
operation for about 20 years. The first detected
cracks were mainly longitudinal, i.e. located
along the weld, and of rather big sizes both on
the circumference and in depth [1], which caused
difficulties in detecting them by the non-destructive
test methods. The special ultrasonic testing
procedure was developed for these purposes [2],
which allowed revealing such defects at the early
stages of their formation. As the procedure for
repair of these defects detected at the early stage
of their formation is time-consuming and requires
shutdown of the entire unit, the necessity arose
for predictive estimates of safe service life of a
steam generator with detected crack-like defects
in welded joints 111 between both hot (joint
111-1) and cold (joint 111-2) collector and
branch pipes of the steam generator casing (see
Figure 1).
These predictions are based on the knowledge

steam generator casing by using branch pipe: 1 – steam
generator casing; 2 – collector; 3 – branch pipe; 4 –
main circulation piping; 5 – pocket

of the static corrosion crack resistance diagram
(SCCRD) (Figure 2). Such diagrams are developed
for specific materials (steels) and aggressive
