Controlling corrosion in the back end of fuel cycle using nitric acid grade stainless steels

International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology (IJNEST), Vol. 1, No. 2/3, 2005

Abstract: The materials for use in nitric acid service have to be resistant to intergranular corrosion and have low general corrosion rates. End grain corrosion resulting from inclusions and segregation along dislocation bands needs to be minimised. The Nitric Acid Grade of stainless steel resistant to these corrosion problems has been indigenously produced. It is emphasised that proper fabrication practices have to be employed for NAG grade to take full advantage of its cleanliness, controlled chemistry and microstructure. The problems associated with fabrication of large diameter pipes, oxide embedment and welding are described with our experience in its production and quality assessment.
