Microstructure, biocorrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of as-cast Mg-4Zn-xSr alloys (x ≤ 0.4, in mass%) are studied by scanning electron microscopy, immersion testing, slow strain rate tensile testing, etc. A minor Sr addition (≤0.2%) in Mg-4Zn alloy can reduce the average corrosion rate and the corrosion current density in Hank’s solution, resulting from grain refinement, dispersion of the smaller secondary phase particles, and the more-protective corrosion product film. Thus, a minor Sr addition (≤0.2%) can improve both strength and plasticity of the Mg-4Zn alloy without increasing the SCC susceptibility, and the Mg-4Zn-0.1Sr alloy exhibits the best comprehensive properties.

This paper studies the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour of Incoloy 800 in pure 10%NaOH and, respectively, 10%NaOH+0.33g/l NaCl solutions. Notched and un-notched C-ring specimens were tested in a static autoclave at 2600C and 50 bars. To evaluate the electrochemical behaviour of different metal/environment systems, the most important electrochemical parameters were calculated from polarization curves recorded between (�800)mVvsSCE and (+1200)mVvsSCE (scan rate 1mV/s), at 850C. It was emphasised that the presence of Cl- in caustic environment conducts to the decreasing of corrosion rate and corrosion current. Optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the initiation mechanism and penetration depth of SCC cracks depend on the composition of the testing solution: in pure caustic solution, the SCC initiation is transgranular the SCC cracks propagated up to 120m, while in the presence of the Cl-, the SCC cracks started from the pits formed on the samples surface and the SCC depth is shorter than in the pure caustic solution (only up to 20m). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were used to identify the composition of the oxide layer build-up on the surface of the specimens exposed in autoclaves. The results indicate that, in the presence of the Cl- anions, the spinel oxide NiCr2O4 is formed in a bigger amount. Due to this compound formation, a greater SCC resistance of Incoloy 800 was observed.

Many non-volatile impurities accidentally introduced into the steam generator tend to Concentrate on its surface in restricted flow areas. In this way these impurities can lead to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) on stressed tubes of the steam generator. Such impurities can be strong alkaline or acid solutions. To evaluate the effect of alkaline concentrated environments on SCC of steam generator tubes, the tests were con ducted on stressed samples of Incoloy-800 in 10% NaOH solution. To accelerate the SCC process, stressed specimens were anodically polarised in a caustic solution in an electro chemical cell. The method of stressing of Incoloy-800 tubes used in our experiments was the C-ring. Using the cathodic zone of the potentiodynamic curves it was possible to calculate the most important electrochemical parameters: the corrosion current, the corrosion rate, and the polarization resistance. We found that the value of the corrosion potential to initiate the SCC microcracks was -100 mV. The tested samples were examined using the metallographic method. The main experimental results showed that the in crease of the stress state promoted the in crease of the SCC susceptibility of Incoloy-800 samples tested under the same conditions, and that the length of the SCC-type microcracks in creased with the growth of the stress value.
