It is often assumed that internal oxidation cannot occur at temperatures below 400 degrees C. However, in the present work, internal oxidation was observed in a 20% cold-worked Fe-17Cr-12Ni stainless steel (SS) after exposure to simulated primary water of a pressurized water reactor at 340 degrees C and not in a similarly tested sample without prior cold-work. The formation of discrete Cr-oxide precipitates and the role of cold-work are discussed. The internal oxidation model is also proposed as a plausible stress corrosion cracking mechanism of Fe-17Cr-12Ni SS at that temperature. (C) 2019 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
