C’est quoi la Corrosion sous contrainte ?

In a nuclear power plant, stainless steel pipes are used to circulate water. The steel is similar to that used to make pressure cookers; it is very resistant to corrosion. For example, in the case of our pressure cooker, it doesn't rust when it comes into contact with water. But for the stainless steel pipes used in nuclear reactors, stress corrosion cracking has occurred on an unexpected scale. 👨‍🔬 With the participation of: Thierry Sollier, Project Manager for Stress Corrosion in Reactors (IRSN) To learn more: 👉 Consult our expert reports on stress corrosion cracking: https://www.irsn.fr/avis-rapports-cor... __________________ The Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) is the French public expert in research and expertise on nuclear and radiological risks. 🔔 Subscribe to the IRSN YouTube channel:    / irsnvideo   Follow us on social media!
