Abstract

STAINLESS STEELS Quantitative mechanism of stress‐corrosion cracking of stainless steels. Test results support the electro‐chemical mechanism of stress‐corrosion crack initiation in austenitic stainless steel. After a period of initiation, during which partial passivation occurred, local anodes corroded along certain narrow planes, resulting in cracking and ultimate failure. Crack lengths gradually increased with time, after the onset of stress‐corrosion crack propagation, and no cracking took place during the initiation stage.
