Abstract U-bend immersion tests were used for studying the stress corrosion cracking behaviors for electroslag welding (ESW) Alloy 600, electroslag welding (ESW) Alloy 690 and submerged-arc welding (SAW) Alloy 690. Results showed that electroslag welding Alloy 600, electroslag welding Alloy 690 and submerged-arc welding Alloy 690 samples were immune to stress corrosion cracking in simulated primary water of pressurized water reactor (PWR) after being immersed for 1193 h, which contained 1.5×10-3 B, 2.3×10-6 Li, 2.5×10-6 H2 at 325 ℃, 15.8 MPa. However, stress corrosion cracks were observed in electroslag welding Alloy 600 after being immersed in 10 wt.% NaOH alkali solution for 720 h at 330℃, 11 MPa. The maximum crack length was 835 μm after 720 h immersion and further expanded to 1135 μm after 1440 h immersion with a typical intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) characteristic. For electroslag welding Alloy 690, microcracks were initiated with the length of 0.3 μm to 1.15 μm and stress corrosion crack was not observed.
