THE INVESTIGATION OF STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF HIGH STRENGTH STEELS

Abstract

Objectives: (1) To study the stress-corrosion characteristics of 18% nickel maraging steel with respect to compositional variation. (2) To study 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) To study the electropotential changes occurring in 18%-nickel maraging steel during stress-corrosion exposure, and the effect of applied potential.
