Interest in materials degradation in supercritical water (SCW) increased significantly after the Generation IV International Forum selected the supercritical water-cooled reactor as one of six concepts for investigation. While a significant body of literature now exists on alloy corrosion in SCW, most studies have focused on the metal side of the metal–water interface. Using new data and a selective review of corrosion in SCW, this paper highlights how changes in SCW density change the corrosion mechanism, and highlights the close link between corrosion in SCW and high-temperature steam above 500°C. Key issues in test methodologies are also discussed.
