Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of a forged Mg-Al-Zn magnesium alloy with different surface conditions was studied by the four-point bending test and alternate immersion test in NaCl solution. The results showed that the bare Mg-Al-Zn magnesium alloy has low susceptivity to SCC, and no abrupt rupture happened after the immersion test for 5 days under an initial stress load of 0.15–0.75σ0.2. With microarc oxidation (MAO) coating, corrosion resistance was enhanced, but more surface cracks were induced, and microcracks could be detected inside corrosive pits when the load was 0.75σ0.2, which is similar to the bare alloy. The composite coating totally avoided both SCC and corrosion. The low susceptivity of the forged AQ80M alloy to SCC should be attributed to the fine grain size and even distribution of secondary phases around the grain boundary.

We43 Magnesium Alloy

Abstract The article shows that the use of quantitative fracture description may lead to significant progress in research on the phenomenon of stress corrosion cracking of the WE43 magnesium alloy. Tests were carried out on samples in air, and after hydrogenation in 0.1 M Na2SO4 with cathodic polarization. Fracture surfaces were analyzed after different variants of the Slow Strain Rate Test. It was demonstrated that the parameters for quantitative evaluation of fracture surface microcracks can be closely linked with the susceptibility of the WE43 magnesium alloy operating under complex state of the mechanical load in corrosive environments. The final result of the study was the determination of the quantitative relationship between Slow Strain Rate Test parameters, the mechanical properties, and the parameters of the quantitative evaluation of fracture surface (microcracks).

ABSTRACTMetallic canisters placed in concrete casks and containing spent nuclear fuel elements, will be exposed to a moist oceanic atmosphere while the decay heat generated in the fuel elements cools for more than fifty years. Thus, the surface environment of the metallic canisters will be wet and covered with chloride compounds. The canisters may suffer atmospheric stress corrosion cracking. Therefore, corrosion tests for some potential alloys were conducted in an aqueous bittern solution, containing 22% enriched chloride compounds simulating the expected surface conditions of the canisters, to aid in selecting appropriate alloys based on corrosion resistance. The results suggest that the corrosion resistance of ordinary stainless steels, such as SUS304 and SUS316, is not high enough to avoid ASCC (atmospheric stress corrosion cracking) in the environment. Thus, a higher-grade stainless steel, namely, NSSC270 (20Cr-18Ni-6Mo-0.2N-Low C)or SUS836L (23.5Cr-25Ni-5.5Mo-0.2N-Low C, equivalent to AL-6XN) has been selected for this application.
