The proper heat treatment should be adopted to avoid those that have harmful delta phase along the grain boundary of Inconel 718 alloy, so it will not sensitive to the stress corrosion cracking in primary water condition. And more, stress threshold should be kept below 75%~80% of yield strength to avoid the stress corrosion cracking at stress concentrators, such as fillets. The design threshold stress value of hold-down spring, 931MPa(135ksi) is appropriate, but not conservative.
