INVESTIGATION OF STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING OF HIGH-STRENGTH ALLOYS

Abstract

Bent-beam stress-corrosion test data are presented for specimens of Ladish D6AC, Type 300M, and Vasco-jet 1000 alloy steels, AM355 and PH 15-7 Mo stainless steel , and B120VCA titanium alloy tested in air, distilled water, tap water, 0.25% Na2Cr2O7.2H2O solution, 1% marquench salt solution, 3% NaCl solution, trichloroethylene, cosmoline, 4% soluble oil solution, and high humidity. Stress-corrosion test data are presented for U-bend specimens of Ladish D6AC, Type 300M, and Vasco-jet alloy steels tested in distilled water, tap water, 0.25% sodium dichromate solution, 1% marquench salt solution, 3% sodium chloride solution, trichlorethylene, cosmoline, and 4% soluble oil solution. Failures were observed with each alloy in distilled water, tap water, salt water, and trichloroethylene. In each case the Vascojet 1000 alloy showed the greatest susceptibility to stress-corrosion failure, while the Ladish D6AC alloy was the most resistant to stress-corrosion cracking.
