Impact-fretting wear behavior of Inconel 690 alloy tubes …
The heat transfer tube, which is commonly fabricated from Inconel 600, Inconel 690, or Incoloy 800 alloy, is an important component of the steam generator in a nuclear reactor [1], [2]. Heat transfer tubes in a steam generator may hit against their supports because of flow-induced vibration; thus, impact-fretting wear, which can cause …
