| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was the clarification of hydrogen accelerated oxidation (HAO) mechanism of low carbon austenitic stainless steel in simulated BWR environment and development of hydrogen charging technique in high temperature and high pressurized water. The experimental results have confirmed that by charging hydrogen into the steel, the Cr concentration decreases and the vacancy concentration increases in the inner layer oxide film. Additionally, the small punch test in the simulated BWR environment revealed that the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was observed in the hydrogen charged steel and the oxidation of crack tip was accelerated. This result suggests that the initiation of SCC may be strongly influenced by the HAO.
