Coriou reported IGSCC (PWSCC) susceptibility for nickel-based alloys and the influence of nickel content in high-temperature, high-purity water.18 It is now known, however, that this cracking susceptibility

is very dependent on the corrosion potential, as determined by the concentration of molecular hydrogen in solution (as in PWR primary water). Subsequently, it was reported that IGSCC is affected by the chromium content, but not by the nickel content in nickel-based alloys, as shown in Figures 23 and 24 60 Alloy 690 has higher resistance to PWSCC than Alloy 600, due to its higher chromium content.
Carbide precipitation along grain boundaries by thermal treatment (TT) at around 700 °C improves the PWSCC resistance for Alloys 600 and 690. In particular, M23C6 precipitation that is coherent with the matrix was detected along grain boundaries in the TT Alloy 690, which has excellent PWSCC resistance depending on the carbon content and the solution heat-treatment temperature. By contrast, niobium addition to Alloy 600 was found to have a poor effect on PWSCC susceptibility,60 but improves IGSCC resistance under BWR water conditions.25

nickel oxide film in air or other oxidizing environments. The oxidation resistance of nickel is improved remarkably by the addition of chromium. Repeated oxidation test results for various alloys are shown in Figures 25 and 26.10,11,14 In these tests, Alloy 600 showed little weight change and was found to have better oxidation resistance than 304 or 310 stainless steels. Alloy 601 had higher oxidation resistance than Alloy 600, due to its higher chromium and aluminum contents. Alloy 690 also had higher oxidation resistance than Alloy 600 due to its higher chromium content.
Low-alloy steels are highly susceptible to nitriding in active atmospheres such as high-temperature ammonia gas. To obtain resistance to nitriding, the addition of nickel is effective. Austenitic stainless steels have higher resistance to nitriding than low-alloy steels, for example. Nickel-based alloys have significantly better resistance to nitriding. Alloy 600 shows excellent resistance to nitriding in ammonia production plant environments.
Nickel-based alloys are highly susceptible to sulfidation. Nickel forms a eutectic with sulfur at

temperatures above 645 °C and the scales on nickel lose their protective properties at higher temperatures. The addition of chromium to nickel-based alloys is effective for improving sulfidation resistance, and alloys containing higher than 20% chromium show good sulfidation resistance.
Nickel undergoes severe corrosion in combustion gases ofcrude petroleum. When vanadium is present in these gases, corrosion occurs due to the formation of low-temperature-melting compounds with vanadium oxides (so-called vanadium attack). When sulfur is present in crude petroleum, sulfide corrosion occurs.
50% chromium-50% nickel and 60% chromium — 40% nickel alloys are rare nickel-based materials with excellent resistance to vanadium attack and sulfide corrosion. Figure 2761 shows exposure test results for the supports of the super heater tubes of a fossil-fuel electric power plant. The data indicate that both alloys are indeed highly resistant to corrosion.
The excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical characteristics of various nickel-based alloys have been described in this chapter. In particular, typical corrosion, mechanical, other physical properties data, together with general fabrication information, have been reviewed.
Copper-based alloys have more than 5000 years of history, and iron-based alloys more than 4000 years. However, nickel-based alloys were developed only in the last 100 years or so. This very short history for nickel-based alloys means that some unknown, or uncertain, or unexpected scientific properties will be still remaining to be discovered for these alloys. Consequently, continuing and assiduous studies of nickel based alloys are plainly required (see Chapter
4.4, Radiation Effects in Nickel-Based Alloys and Chapter 5.04, Corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking of Ni-Base Alloys).
