Discovery of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in the blade attachment region of nuclear power plant low-pressure steam turbine discs leads to industry concern about this problem. Reliable inspection methods for the detection of SCC in steam turbine blade attachment area are essential to the rotor run/repair/retire decision making process. The conventional broad beam ultrasonic inspection technique usually has inadequate resolution for flaw sizing and tendency for false calls. But the phased array technique by improved detection capability and resolution could increase coverage of the examination areas with less scanning required. Using phased array ultrasonic technique to straddle mount-type low-pressure turbine disc in nuclear power plant located in Korea was studied in this paper.
