Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were carried out in high temperature water with Ni-based Alloy-182. The aim was to correlate the EIS results with differences in Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) susceptibility that is present around the Ni-NiO transition. There was a clear difference between the EIS results at and away from the Ni-NiO transition. To make a more quantitative correlation a simple equivalent circuit was used to fit the experimental data. A clear correlation between the CPE exponent (n) and the SCC susceptibility could be obtained. Additionally, it was shown that the high frequency arc of the EIS data was related to the diffuse double layer

A logarithmic relationship for the oxide film thickness of Nickel-based alloys in high temperature water versus immersion time or dissolved hydrogen (DH) is identified based on the compilation and analysis of the experimental data reported in some literature. A theoretical equation is used to quantify the correlations between thickness and time or DH. The logarithmic correlation between inner layer thickness and iron content in alloy matrix and the linear correlation between outer layer thickness and iron content in alloy matrix are primary identified by fitting the experimental data in our own work. The correlation of oxidation kinetics and stress corrosion cracking growth rate is discussed.
