690 alloy has excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and intergranular stress corrosion cracking, and is mainly used in pressurized water nuclear power plant steam generator heat transfer tube material. Pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant steam generator heat transfer pipe materials have gone through a development process, including 304 austenitic stainless steel,600 alloy, 800 alloy and 690 alloy. The study on corrosion failure of 600 alloy in service shows that intergranular corrosion and intergranular stress corrosion cracking are the main problems. 690 alloy as a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant steam generator heat transfer tube material, since the 1990s has been put into use has not been found damaged reports.
Butt welding elbow is a steel hot press forming or forging forming elbow, its connection form is directly butt welding elbow and steel pipe.butt welding elbow according to its radius of curvature, can be divided into long radius butt welding elbow and short radius butt welding elbow. The curvature radius of the long radius butt welded elbow is equal to 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipe, that is, R=1.5D. The curvature radius of the short radius butt welded elbow is equal to the outside diameter of the pipe, that is, R=1D. Where D is the diameter of butt welded elbow and R is the radius of curvature. If there are no special instructions, the general choice is 1.5D elbow.
