In pressurized water reactors (PWR), dissimilar metal welds are made to join the pressure vessels of low-alloy steel to pipes of stainless steel using Alloy 182 (UNS W86182) as a filler metal. However, it has been found that Alloy 182 is susceptible to intergranular environmentally assisted cracki ... [Corrosion 67, 076001 (2011)] published Fri Jul 01, 2011.
