Three 304L austenitic stainless steel feedwater heater (FWH) tubes used in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) were investigated in this study. By comparing metallurgical differences, such as microstructural features, micro-hardness, and circumferential residual stress of the failed and non-failed FWH tubes by stress corrosion cracking (SCC), factors which could affect SCC.....
