Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe Used In The Cooling Water System Of Nuclear Power

图片
Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe for Nuclear Power  Cooling Water System As a clean energy, nuclear power is a major contributor to global carbon emissions reduction, and it can play a greater role in the future. Duplex stainless steel pipe for cooling water system is the future. The key factor for the safe operation of nuclear power plants is the cooling water piping system. This complex system contains thousands of feet of pipes with diameters ranging from large to small, and its function is to provide reliable water supply for the cooling of nuclear power plant equipment. There is usually a non-safety-level operating system and a safety-level emergency system. Non-safety-grade piping systems must provide sufficient cooling water for normal cooling of nuclear power equipment. The safety-level system must provide sufficient cooling water to keep the reactor under control and shut down safely in an emergency. The piping materials used in these systems must be resistant to corrosio...

Introduction The Test Of Crevice Corrosion Of Stainless Steel & Duplex Steel

图片
Brief introduction of crevice corrosion test project Crevice corrosion is the phenomenon that metal surfaces form gaps due to the presence of foreign objects or structural reasons, resulting in accelerated metal corrosion in the gaps. The width of the slit or gap that causes crevice corrosion must be sufficient to allow the medium to enter and stay in it. When the crevice width is between 25 and 100 μm, it is the most sensitive range for crevice corrosion. In some wider crevices, the corrosive medium is easy flowing, crevice corrosion generally does not occur. The result of crevice corrosion will lead to a reduction in the strength of the component and a poor fit. The increase in the volume of corrosion products in the crevices will cause local additional stress, which not only makes assembly difficult, but may also reduce the bearing capacity of the component. Crevice corrosion of metals shows the following main features: (1) Whether it is the contact of the same or different...

Stainless Steel Flange Enterprises Already Have The Conditions For Normal Production And Operation

Affected By The Covid-19 Epidemic, The Situation Of Stainless Steel Flanges Is Not Optimistic 1. Global financial market turmoil, stainless steel flange futures plunged After the Chinese New Year, in the category of commodities related to economic growth, the strongest asset is the stainless steel flange. WN Flange As the overseas epidemic became more serious, Chinese finished product exports were affected. The domestic production of  stainless steel flanges  continues to pick up sharply, and the pressure of destocking is still relatively large. The oversupply of finished materials is a foregone conclusion. On the 27th, the Politburo meeting pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the issuance and use of local government special bonds, increase the fiscal deficit rate, and guide the loan market interest rate to fall, which will be beneficial to the restoration of confidence in the stainless steel flange market. However, Monday's futures still weakened signif...
