The purpose of this work is to quantify the effects of dissolved zinc cations on corrosion and release rates from a pre-filmed Alloy 690 steam generator tubing material that was subsequently exposed to water containing zinc. The corrosion tests were performed in circulating 2 ppm Li and 1000 ppm B water without and with 60 ppb zinc at 330 °C. Gravimetric analyses and oxide characterization revealed that the corrosion rates, release rates, and oxide thicknesses decreased by subsequent exposure of the pre-filmed Alloy 690 to zinc. These benefits are attributed to the formation of a chromium-rich inner oxide layer incorporating zinc.

The nanograins (NG) on the top surface layer of alloy 690 were successfully prepared by ultrasonic surface rolling treatment (USRT). The average grain size of NG alloy 690 was 55 nm, and the thickness of the NG surface layer was about 1 μm. Meanwhile, the surface roughness was significantly reduced after surface nanocrystalliztion. The corrosion behavior of alloy 690 before and after USRT was studied in a secondary side environment containing chloride. Electrochemical corrosion experiments demonstrated that the passive film generated by USRT was denser than that formed on coarse-grained (CG) alloy 690. Pitting corrosion was prone to occur in grain boundaries of CG alloy 690, and the pits on the surface of NG alloy 690 were smaller than those generated on CG alloy 690 after 1000 h of an immersion experiment.
