<Industrial Application Fields> The present invention is applicable to the excellent corrosion resistance, strength, workability (including weldability and machinability), and impact toughness required for heat exchanger tube support plates of nuclear reactor steam generators from the material standpoint. The present invention relates to a method for sufficiently suppressing and preventing the denting phenomenon of the nuclear reactor steam generator without causing any trouble. <Background technology> Among the current nuclear reactors, pressurized water reactors (PWR)
BWRs have a long history of being more advantageous than boiling water reactors (BWRs) from a control point of view because they do not have to worry about bubbles generated by boiling, which can be a negative reaction factor. Recently, it has been discovered that an inconvenient phenomenon called "denting" occurs in the heat transfer tubes that make up the steam generators of pressurized water reactors, and there is an urgent need to find ways to improve the problem. "Denting" of the heat transfer tubes that constitute the steam generator of a pressurized water reactor is, as shown in FIG . ) is deposited, and its growth not only fills the gap between the heat exchanger tube 1 and the support plate 2, but also locally compresses and deforms the heat exchanger tube 1. It is a phenomenon. The cause of this denting is that chlorides mixed into the water on the secondary side of the steam generator due to seawater leakage from the condenser concentrate in the gap between the heat transfer tube and the support plate, causing rapid corrosion of that part of the support plate material. However, if such denting occurs, stress will be generated on the inner surface of the heat transfer tube, which may cause intergranular stress corrosion cracking, which may lead to leakage of contaminated water. It was something I didn't have. Fortunately, all nuclear power plants in Japan implement volatile chemical treatment (AVT) and water quality is well controlled, so no occurrence of the denting phenomenon has been detected to date.
However, following countermeasures taken in Europe and the United States, countermeasures have begun to be taken, such as changing the heat exchanger tube support plate material to SUS405 stainless steel instead of the conventional carbon steel. However, a subsequent report from a U.S. nuclear power related organization stated that ``the application of SUS405 stainless steel alone as described above leaves some concerns as a measure to prevent denting of reactor steam generator heat transfer tubes.'' has been done. By the way, until this denting was considered a problem, the following characteristics were mainly required for support plate materials for heat exchanger tubes in nuclear reactor steam generators, and the prevailing view was that if these were satisfied, it was "good". It was occupied. (a) Excellent corrosion resistance (crevice corrosion resistance, general corrosion resistance, stress corrosion cracking resistance, galvanic corrosion resistance, etc.), (b) Mechanical properties (for example, excellent resistance to corrosion at room temperature and high temperatures of around 300℃) (c) Good physical properties (specific gravity, linear expansion coefficient, Young's modulus, etc.); (d) Excellent abrasion resistance (fretting properties); (e) ) Good weldability; (f) Good machinability (drillability, broaching workability, etc.); (g) Satisfactory price from an industrial standpoint. . The SUS405 stainless steel is known as a material that satisfies most of the above requirements, and due to its excellent corrosion resistance, even after the denting problem became recognized, it was said that the use of this material was sufficient. The above-mentioned report from the U.S. nuclear power organization, which was issued despite the belief that it was possible to deal with denting, served as a reminder of the complexity of the denting phenomenon generation mechanism, and led to calls for even more thorough measures to prevent denting. This led to increasing calls for its establishment. <Purpose of the Invention> Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have taken into account the special nature of the nuclear power-related field, which approaches the application of "new methods other than those based on actual results" with a degree of caution that may seem excessive. It has all the advantages of SUS405 stainless steel, which has been considered suitable as a support plate material for heat exchanger tubes in nuclear reactor steam generators, and is even more reliable in terms of stress corrosion cracking resistance, which is especially important. We conducted research to create a support plate for reactor steam generator heat transfer tubes that does not cause denting in the steam generator heat transfer tubes. The targets set at that time for the above-mentioned "denting" and "stress corrosion cracking" are based on the fact that the critical corrosion amount of the heat exchanger tube support plate for the denting phenomenon is approximately 60 mg/cm 2 , so the lifespan of the reactor is limited. Considering the period of approximately 40 years, it was determined that ``the estimated amount of corrosion over 40 years in an AVT environment must be smaller than the critical amount of corrosion,'' and that stress corrosion cracking was not possible. <Means for Solving the Problems> The present inventors conducted various studies based on the above viewpoint, and were able to obtain the following knowledge. (a) SUS405 stainless steel, which has a proven track record of being used as a support plate material for steam generator heat transfer tubes in the nuclear power field, where new applications other than those based on actual results is cautious, has excellent mechanical properties, physical properties, and durability. It is an excellent material that is well-balanced in terms of abrasion resistance, weldability, machinability, and cost as well as the support plate material. It is disadvantageous to significantly change from SUS405. (b) Cr plays an especially important role in the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel mentioned above (general corrosion resistance in sulfuric acid-copper sulfate solution), and it is used as a support plate material for steam generator heat exchanger tubes, which requires sufficient reliability. teeth
Cr content: 11.50% or more (hereinafter, % representing the component ratio is referred to as weight %) and reduction of C and Mn, the difference requires regulation of S like SUS405, and cost etc. Even if this is taken into consideration, addition of trace amounts of Ni and Mo is essential. (c) In order to improve the impact value and strength of stainless steel at room temperature and high temperature (approximately 300℃), it is necessary to add Ni and ensure a minimum amount of C, but regarding the impact value, Al , reduction of Si, Mn,
Furthermore, it is preferable to restrict P like SUS405. (d) It is also worth noting that the addition of trace amounts of Cu and Mo is extremely effective for general corrosion resistance in high-temperature water in the presence of Cl - ions, and it is noteworthy that the presence of such trace components A phenomenon occurs in which these substances are concentrated in the extremely superficial layer of the passive coating on the surface of the stainless steel member, and this concentrated layer, together with other corrosion resistance improving components, resists general corrosion in high temperature water in the presence of Cl - ions. Stainless steel with these measures has been applied to support plate materials for heat exchanger tubes in nuclear reactor steam generators, perhaps because these effects also play a major role. In this case, denting of the steam generator is reduced to a substantially non-problematic level. (e) Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of C in SUS405 stainless steel to a certain degree, and to ensure a sufficient amount of Cr so that application to nuclear power-related equipment is not hesitated (this would result in a significant increase in costs). When Ni, Mo, and Cu are included (even in amounts that do not connect), the mechanical properties, physical properties, wear resistance, and
In addition to being able to obtain ferritic stainless steel that has features in terms of weldability, machinability, and cost, when this stainless steel is applied to the support plate material of steam generator heat exchanger tubes, there are no problems during the life of the reactor equipment itself. The denting phenomenon can be suppressed to the extent that it does not occur. Therefore, using this stainless steel as a material for the support plate of the heat exchanger tube of a nuclear reactor steam generator can be a preventive measure against denting that can fully eliminate the ``contents reported by U.S. nuclear power related organizations'' introduced earlier. Figure 2 shows carbon steel (C: 0.17%, Si: 0.21%, Mn: 0.66%, Cr:

9. This is a graph showing the results of a survey of general corrosion in non-degassed water, and from this figure 2,
By adjusting the composition of SUS405 stainless steel and adding trace amounts of Ni, Mo, and Cu, its corrosion resistance unexpectedly improves.
It can be inferred that this can be a sufficient measure against denting. This invention was completed based on the above-mentioned knowledge, etc. "C: more than 0.02 to 0.08%, Si: 1.00% or less, Mn: 1.00% or less, P: 0.040% or less, S: Contains 0.030% or less, Cr: 11.50-14.50%, Ni: less than 0.60%, Al: 0.10-0.30%, and also contains one or both of Mo: 0.30-1.00% and Cu: 0.30-1.00%. By using stainless steel, the remainder of which is essentially Fe, as the material for the heat exchanger tube support plate of a nuclear reactor steam generator, the heat exchanger tube support plate has sufficient mechanical properties.
Its major feature is that it not only ensures good physical properties and wear resistance, but also sufficiently prevents denting of the steam generator. Next, in this invention, the reason why the composition of the stainless steel to be applied is limited as described above will be explained. (A) C The C component has the effect of ensuring the strength and impact value of steel, but if its content is less than 0.02%, it will be difficult to secure the desired strength and impact value.On the other hand, as the content increases, the corrosion resistance will increase. The C content was determined to be more than 0.02% to 0.08% because the C content tends to deteriorate more significantly and the desired corrosion resistance improvement effect cannot be obtained with a content of 0.08% or more. (B) Si Si is normally added to steel as a deoxidizing agent, but if it is contained in excess of 1.00%, it will reduce the toughness of the steel, so the Si content is set at 1.00% or less. Ta. (C) Mn Mn is also normally added to steel as a deoxidizing agent, but if it is contained in excess of 1.00%, the corrosion resistance and weldability of steel will deteriorate, so the Mn content is set at 1.00% or less. (D) PP is an element that has a negative effect on the toughness of steel,
If the P content exceeds 0.040%, it will not be possible to secure the required properties as a support plate material for the reactor steam generator heat exchanger tube, so the P content should be 0.040%.
It was determined as follows. (E) SS S is an element that adversely affects the corrosion resistance and hot workability of steel, and needs to be suppressed as much as possible, especially from the viewpoint of suppressing the denting phenomenon described above. However, since an amount up to 0.030% is somehow acceptable, the S content was set at 0.030% or less. (F) Cr The Cr component is essential for maintaining sufficient corrosion resistance as stainless steel and preventing problems caused by corrosion during use of the heat exchanger tube support plate. It is necessary to ensure the Cr content, but if it exceeds 14.50%, the toughness and workability of the weld will deteriorate, so the Cr content should be 11.50 to 14.50%.
It was determined that (G) Ni Ni not only improves corrosion resistance and prevents denting of heat exchanger tubes due to corrosion of the support plate, but also improves the mechanical properties of steel, and even in a small amount it is noticeable. Although it is effective, containing more than 0.60% leads to a significant increase in the cost of the steel, increases tempering resistance and increases hardness, and inhibits hot workability and increases weld cracking susceptibility. Therefore, the Ni content was set at less than 0.60%. (H) Al Al is a strong ferrite-forming element and has the effect of improving the toughness of the weld heat affected zone, but if its content is less than 0.10%, the desired effect cannot be obtained; The Al content was set at 0.10 to 0.30%, since if the Al content exceeds 0.1%, the cleanliness of the steel would deteriorate and the quenching hardness would decrease. (I) Mo Mo component significantly improves the corrosion resistance of steel when added in a small amount, and has a useful effect on preventing denting during heat transfer due to corrosion of the support plate, but if the content is less than 0.30%, the desired effect is not achieved. On the other hand, if Mo content exceeds 1.00%, the toughness of the steel will decrease.
It was set at 1.00%. (J) Cu The Cu component also has an important effect of improving corrosion resistance when added in small amounts along with other components and preventing denting of the heat exchanger tube due to corrosion of the support plate, but if its content is less than 0.30%, The Cu content was determined to be 0.30 to 1.00% because the desired effect could not be obtained and on the other hand, if the Cu content exceeded 1.00%, the hot workability of the steel would be inhibited. Next, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples. <Example> First, steel having the chemical composition shown in Table 1 was melted by a generally used method, and was made into a plate material by forging and hot rolling.

Test solution: 5ppmCl -aqueous solution, PH9, non-degassing, test temperature: 300℃, test time: 500hr. [Double U bend test] Test solution: 500ppmCl -aqueous solution, Test temperature: 300℃, Test time: 500hr. The test results obtained are also shown in Table 1. As is clear from the results shown in Table 1,
It can be seen that the steel according to the present invention has good corrosion resistance (general corrosion resistance, stress corrosion cracking resistance) and mechanical properties, whereas the conventional material has somewhat poor corrosion resistance. In addition, the results of physical property measurements, wear resistance tests, weldability tests, and machinability tests conducted on the steel related to the present invention were all sufficiently satisfactory, and from these points of view, It can be seen that the steel according to the present invention is satisfactory as a support plate material for a heat exchanger tube of a nuclear reactor steam generator. Then, support plates for reactor steam generator heat transfer tubes were made from each steel according to the present invention shown in Table 1,
When we investigated denting of heat exchanger tubes in an AVT environment, we confirmed that denting was suppressed to a virtually non-problematic level. <Summary of Effects> As designed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently prevent denting of the reactor steam generator without requiring any special measures, thereby improving the reliability of nuclear equipment. This brings about extremely excellent industrial effects, such as making it possible to further improve the performance.
