The degradation of steam generator tubing at nuclear power plants has become an important problem for the electric utilities generating nuclear power. The material used for the tubing, Inconel 600, has been found to be succeptible to intergranular attack (IGA). IGA is the selective dissolution of material along its grain boundaries. The author believes that the sensitivity of Inconel 600 to IGA can be minimized by homogenizing the near-surface region using ion implantation. The collisions between the implanted ions and the atoms in the grain boundary region would displace the atoms and thus effectively smear the grain boundary.To determine the validity of this hypothesis, an Inconel 600 sample was implanted with 100kV N2+ ions to a dose of 1x1016 ions/cm2 and electrolytically etched in a 5% Nital solution at 5V for 20 seconds. The etched sample was then examined using a JEOL JSM25S scanning electron microscope.

In situ atomic force microscopy, scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy, and potential pulse technology were used to study the pitting behavior induced by inclusions in AM355 martensitic stainless steel. The MnS-(Cr, Mn, Al)O duplex inclusion exhibited the highest sensitivity to the pitting corrosion with respect to the individual MnS and (Cr, Mn, Al)O inclusions. When exposed to a solution containing Cl−, the selective dissolution occurred on the sulfide segment of the duplex inclusion, leading to trenching along the oxide part. The dissolution mechanism of MnS segment in the duplex inclusion is similar to the individual MnS inclusion. The Cr depletion in the boundary layer at the inclusion/metal interface promoted the transition from metastable to stable pitting corrosion in the duplex inclusion.
