INTERCRYSTALLINE AND TRANSCRYSTALLINE STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF AUSTENITIC MANGANESE AND CHRONE-NICKEL STEELS IN SEAWATER

INTER- UND TRANSKRISTALLINE SPANNUNGSRISSKORROSION AUSTENITISCHER MANGAN UND CHROM NICKEL STAEHLE IN MERRWASSER

On the basis of previously published and new data, the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of austenitic Mn and Cr-Ni shipbuilding steels is compared. Differences in behavior were found in the composition ranges susceptible to SCC, in the effect of sensitizing anneals, and the existence of an induction period. General agreement was found in reaction to temperature, potential, specimen diameter, and stress. The overall conclusion is that SCC must be expected with Mn steels, but Cr-Ni steels are not susceptible in sea water at room temperature.
