Low cycle fatigue life of structural materials diminishes remarkably as functions of various parameters in high temperature water simulating LWR coolant. Such reduction was estimated by the fatigue life reduction factor (Fen) and the equations to calculate Fen were developed and have undergone revision over the past ten years. The authors have endeavored to establish the method assessing fatigue damage at LWR power plants for the past 13 years in the Japanese EFT (Environmental Fatigue Tests) project under the financial support from the JNES (Japan Nuclear Safety Organization). The project terminated at the end of March in 2007. Final proposals of Fen equations were established for carbon, low-alloy, and austenitic stainless steels and nickel base alloys based on all the data obtained in the project. As the results, a small change in saturated strain rate for carbon and low-alloy steels in highly dissolved oxygen water and newly revised equations including slight change in saturated strain rate for stainless steels in BWR water as well as those for nickel base alloys were proposed. The difference between revised and previous model is essentially not large.

Two different intergranular corrosion tests were performed on EN AW-6016 sheet material, an ISO 11846:1995-based test with varying solution amounts and acid concentrations, and a standard test of an automotive company (PV1113, VW-Audi). The average intergranular corrosion depth was determined via optical microscopy. The differences in the intergranular corrosion depths were then discussed with regard to the applicability and quality of the two different test methods. The influence of varying test parameters for ISO 11846:1995 was discussed as well. The determined IGC depths were found to be strongly dependent on the testing parameters, which will therefore have a pronounced influence on the determined IGC susceptibility of a material. In general, ISO 11846:1995 tests resulted in a significantly lower corrosion speed, and the corrosive attack was found to be primarily along grain boundaries.
