THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF HYDROGEN IN STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF TITANIUM ALLOYS
Abstract
The various mechanisms that have been put forward to explain stress- corrosion cracking are briefly summarized. The experimental observations of stress-corrosion cracking in titanium alloys in widely different environments are discussed. Evidence from the literature for and against the possibility that hydrogen plays a role in the stress-corrosion cracking of titanium alloys is documented. An experimental approach is outlined in an attempt to establish if environmental cracking in titanium alloys in specific environments is due mainly to a stress-corrosion mechanism or to a process similar to hydrogen embrittlement.
