Abstract: This invention relates to an inhibitor of lead-induced stress corrosion cracking including nickel boride in the secondary side of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants and an inhibition method using the same, and more particularly, to an inhibitor of lead-induced stress corrosion cracking, in which nickel boride is added to secondary side cooling water of the steam generator in an amount of 0.2˜6 g/l, and to an inhibition method using the same. According to this invention, when the inhibitor of lead-induced stress corrosion cracking is added to the secondary side of the steam generator tube in nuclear power plants, stress corrosion cracking of the tubes, which occurs in the lead-containing neutral or caustic solution, and a crack growth rate are decreased, thus increasing elongation. Further, a stress corrosion cracking ratio is decreased, and therefore the stress corrosion cracking resistance of metal or alloy can be improved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cerium-containing austenitic nickel-base alloy having enhanced IGA(intergranular attack) and SCC(stress corrosion cracking) resistances, and a preparation method thereof. The cerium-containing alloy according to the present invention is prepared by adding cerium to an austenitic nickel-base alloy, which is used as a material of steam generator tube in a nuclear power plant. The cerium-containing alloy has a refiner grain size than the conventional alloy without cerium, a semi-continuous distribution of intergranular carbides, and improved intergranular attack and stress corrosion cracking resistances in the environment of high temperature and base.
