Stress corrosion cracking in Cu alloys, VIII. Stress corrosion cracking of Cu-9 at%Al alloy bicrystals.

EFFECT OF GRAIN-BOUNDARY STRUCTURE ON STRESS CORROSION CRACKING IN Cu-Al ALLOY BICRYSTALS

EFFECT OF INTERFACIAL STRUCTURE AND ENERGY ON CORROSION AND STRESS-CORROSION-CRACKING IN Cu-Al ALLOY BICRYSTALS

Stabilities of the symmetrical <110>and -tilt and -twist boundaries of an a Cu-AI alloy against both dissolution and Stress-Corrosion-Cracking (SCC) are discussed. The susceptibilities of the boundaries to SCC are strong1 y dependent upon the misorientation. Cusps exist at some angles which are corresponding to relatively small C-values. These boundaries indicating great resistances t...

Tarnish Resistance, Corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking of Gold Alloys

Tarnishing, corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SeC) of gold alloys are related phenomena. They present problems when they occur in gold jewellery, dental gold alloys and electronic devices. They are exploited, however, in the depletion gilding and finishing of gold jewellery; and in the extraction, refining and fire assaying of gold. There is still much that is not known about these pheno...

Corrosion Product Film-Induced Stress Facilitates Stress Corrosion Cracking

Finite element analyses were conducted to clarify the role of corrosion product films (CPFs) in stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Flat and U-shaped edge-notched specimens were investigated in terms of the CPF-induced stress in the metallic substrate and the stress in the CPF. For a U-shaped edge-notched specimen, the stress field in front of the notch tip is affected by the Young's modulus of th...
