WATER JET PEENING AS RESIDUAL STRESS IMPROVEMENT METHOD FOR ALLOY 600 PWSCC MITIGATION

 
MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.
 

KEYWORDS:
WJP, peening, residual stress improvement, PWSCC, Alloy 600, Austenitic stainless steels, reactor vessel

 
1. Technical summary
 
Classification
(I: Inspection, II: Repair, III: Replacement, IV: Preventive Maintenance, V: Others)
 
The improvement of surface residual stress is effective in prevention of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) occurring by tensile residual stress. Water jet peening (WJP) generates the compressive residual stress on the surface of the material by the extremely high impulse pressure caused by the collapse of cavitation bubbles when high speed water jet is discharged in the water.
 
2. Scope

(1) Components:Reactor vessel (RV) of PWR
(2) Material:Alloy 600 (Nickel based alloy) and Austenitic stainless steels of SCC sensitizes zone
(3) Condition :This method can be applied to components under water

3. Features

(1) WJP improves stress on a material surface in a wide and deep area with only one or a few travel path.
(2) Implementation in complicated form is possible, since the suitable construction condition range is wide.
(3) Using only water for treatment, no foreign material is delivered and no heat influence is caused.
