Heat Treatment for Improved Stress-Corrosion Resistance of 17-7 PH Stainless Steel

Abstract

This paper discusses stress-corrosion tests given to 17-7 ph stainless steel-previously subjected to different heat treatments-to fit it for the requirements of rocket-driven spacecraft. Two commercial treatments and one experimental treatment are described, and illustrated by micrographs.
