INVESTIGATION OF STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING OF HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS,

Abstract

A study was made concerning the following: (1) the stress-corrosion characteristics of 18%nickel maraging steel with respect to compositional variation; (2) the effect of environmental temperature on the rate of stress- corrosion cracking in three alloys: 18%-nickel maraging steel, a low-alloy martensitic steel, and a hot worked die steel; (3) the electropotential changes occurring in 18%-nickel maraging steel during stress-corrosion exposure, and the effect of applied potential; and (4) the effectiveness and applicability of surface protection on 18%nickel maraging steel in preventing stresscorrosion cracking.
