Abstract

Corrosion fatigue crack growth rates of Alloy 690 have been measured in air and simulated pressurizedwater reactor (PWR) environment, and environmental acceleration of fatigue crack growth is observed. The effects of loading parameters including loading ratio R, frequency f and amplitude of stress intensity factors ΔK have been discussed and summarized by the timedomain method. Furthermore, the obtained experimental results are compared with FA (FordAndresen) model and ANL (Argonne National Lab) empirical curve, and they could fit fairly well. Fracture surface morphology reveals tansgranular crack in air fatigue and tansgranular with intergranular crack in hotwater environment, which accords well with the description of FA model.
