Abstract

The SCC susceptibility was studied using slow strain rate tests in 0. 01M NaCl as a function of applied potential at temperatures ranging from 100 to 250 C. Potential-temperature domains in which purely IGSCC, simultaneous IGSCC and TGSCC, and IGSCC accompanied by pitting corrosion have been determined. A critical potential for IGSCC and its dependence upon temperature was measured. Average intergranular crack propagation rates were calculated. Propagating intergranular cracks can be arrested by changing the potential to a value which is lower than the critical potential.
