Abstract The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibilities of Alloys 600 and 690, AISI 316 NG stainless steel (SS), ASTM A508 carbon steel, and a number of compatible weld metals have been evaluated at 288 C in pure water and in pure water containing sulfuric acid additions. The sulfuric acid was added to simulate the effects of a resin release from the demineralizer system of a boiling water reactor (BWR). A combination of creviced and noncreviced slow strain rate, constant load, and crack growth rate tests were used in the evaluation. The results indicated that all of the alloys tested in the uncreviced condition were immune to cracking in the pure water environment. The presence of crevices in the pure water environment produced a susceptibility to SCC in Alloy 600, in Inconel I-82 and I-182 weld metals, and ASTM A508 steel, but not in Alloy 690. Cracking was enhanced by the addition of 1 ppm H2SO4 in slow strain rate tests (SSRTs) and constant load tests, but crack growth rates were not enhanced. All of the alloys tested in the resin intrusion environment were susceptible to cracking, except for the high chromium weld metals R-135 and Inconel I-72.

A new high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel with excellent mechanical properties was tested for its resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The new conventional produced hybrid CrNiMnMoN stainless steel combines the excellent mechanical properties of CrMnN stainless steels with the good corrosion properties of CrNiMo stainless steels. Possible applications of such a high-strength material are wires in maritime environments. In principle, the material can come into direct contact with high chloride solutions as well as low pH containing media. The resistance against chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking was determined by slow strain rate tests and constant load tests in different chloride-containing solutions at elevated temperatures. Resistance to hydrogen-induced stress corrosion cracking was investigated by precharging and ongoing in-situ hydrogen charging in both slow strain rate test and constant load test. The hydrogen charging was carried out by cathodic charging in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution with addition of 1 g/L thiourea as corrosion inhibitor and recombination inhibitor to ensure hydrogen absorption with negligible corrosive attack. Slow strain rate tests only lead to hydrogen induced stress corrosion cracking by in-situ charging, which leads to total hydrogen contents of more than 10 wt.-ppm and not by precharging alone. Excellent resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking in 43 wt.% CaCl2 at 120 °C and in 5 wt.% NaCl buffered pH 3.5 solution at 80 °C is obtained for the investigated austenitic stainless steel.

Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking

Abstract A logical approach to quantitative modeling of intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) is presented. The approach is based on the supposition (supported partly by experimental and field observations, and by a related plausible underlying mechanism) that strain rate is a key variable. The approach is illustrated for the specific case of NiCrFe Alloy 600 in high-purity water. Model parameters are determined based on the constant stress IGSCC data (between 290 and 365 C) assuming a power law relation between the damage and the nominal strain rate. The model may be interpreted in terms of a film rupture mechanism of the corrosion process. The related mechanistic considerations are examined for the specific case. Resulting calculations and stress as well as temperature dependence are shown to be in good agreement with the data. More data are needed for further verification under specific conditions of interest.

Passivating Film

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of electron beam melted Ti-6Al-4V alloy (ET) was compared with the conventional wrought alloy (WT). The electrochemical and slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests, as well as surface analysis, were conducted under simulated shallow and deep-sea environment. Under shallow conditions, the SCC susceptibility of both alloys was almost the same because of consistent passivation and re-passivation performance of the passivating film. However, under deep-sea conditions, SCC susceptibility of ET was higher than that of WT due to stronger textured-like surface that appeared on ET alloy, where early developed passive film broke down, demonstrating lower passivation and re-passivation rate.
