Abstract
The steel undergoes stress corrosion cracking in pure water containing 1 or 8 ppm of oxygen at temperatures ranging from 100 to 288 C. At temperatures of 100 and 150 C, cracks nucleate at corrosion pits. At higher temperatures, cracks nucleate beneath hematite crystals which grow via a dissolution-preciptation mechanism upon a base oxide film at sites of high anodic dissolution activity. Susceptibility increases with increasing oxygen concentration, but passes through a maximum as a function of temperature at 250 C.
