According to a study on hydroelectricity in Quebec: "35,125 MW (out of 35,829 MW) of Quebec's installed capacity is hydroelectric. There are 25 large hydro reservoirs within Québec, which can store water on a multi-annual basis and help manage electricity deliveries to internal and export markets. Due to the availability of inexpensive electricity and electric promotion activities, 76% of households in Quebec use an electric heating system. Quebec has an extensive high-voltage transmission system, transporting electricity over long distances from mostly northern hydro dams towards southern demand centers".Hydro-Québec's production fleet, comprises more than 350 hydraulic turbines. Viewing the complexity of their geometry, these runners are assembled by welding resulting in heterogeneous and complex microstructures. In service, hydraulic turbines are subjected to cyclic loads, cavitation and corrosion. Water corrosiveness can increase damages and reduce operating life as a result of the combined effects of mechanical fatigue and corrosion.In this multidisciplinary project we propose to evaluate the synergistic effects of fatigue and corrosion to further understand the degradation mechanism of the alloys used by our two partners. This will help the partners defining their total cost of ownership & develop mitigating corrosion strategies to ensure long term sustainability of their infrastructure. Specifically, we will i) study two types of iron based alloys (stainless steel and cast iron), ii) quantify their corrosion properties, iii) study their fatigue properties and iv) develop predictive fatigue-corrosion models that will aid our partners in their technology development.

根据对魁北克水力发电的一项研究：“魁北克的装机容量中有35，125兆瓦（35，829兆瓦中）是水力发电。魁北克省内有25个大型水库，可以多年储存水，并帮助管理向内部和出口市场的电力输送。由于廉价的电力供应和电力推广活动，魁北克76%的家庭使用电加热系统。魁北克拥有广泛的高压输电系统，将电力从北方的水电站长距离输送到南方的需求中心”。魁北克水电公司的生产船队由350多台水轮机组成。考虑到它们的几何形状的复杂性，这些流道通过焊接组装，导致异质和复杂的微观结构。 在运行中，水轮机会受到循环载荷、气蚀和腐蚀的影响。由于机械疲劳和腐蚀的综合作用，水的腐蚀性会增加损坏并缩短使用寿命。在这个多学科的项目中，我们建议评估疲劳和腐蚀的协同效应，以进一步了解我们两家合作伙伴使用的合金的降解机制。这将有助于合作伙伴确定其总拥有成本并制定缓解腐蚀的策略，以确保其基础设施的长期可持续性。具体而言，我们将i）研究两种类型的铁基合金（不锈钢和铸铁），ii）量化其腐蚀性能，iii）研究其疲劳性能，iv）开发预测疲劳腐蚀模型，以帮助我们的合作伙伴进行技术开发。
