STRESS CORROSION OF HIGH STRENGTH STEELS AND ALLOYS; ARTIFICIAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Stress corrosion testing of high strength steels and alloys (missile case materials) was continued. The samples tested were: D6Ac, 300M, Vascojet 1000, AM 355, PH 15-7 Mo, B120VCA, 4137 Co, Rocoloy 270, and Ardeform 301. The results of treating PH 15-7 Mo, Vascojet 1000, and D6Ac are presented. No corrosion failures of these samples were recorded. Data on the exposure of specimens to marine, semi-industrial, and industrial environments are reported. For 4137 Co tempered at 75% maximum yield strength provided immunity from stress corrosion up to the yield point. The cumulative results for AM 355, PH 15-7Mo, B120VCA, 4137 Co, and Ardeform 301 are included.
