Susceptibility of Dissimilar IN600 Welded Joints to Stress Corrosion Cracking Using Slow Strain Rate Test in Sodium Electrolytes

Slow Strain Rate Testing to Evaluate the Susceptibility of Welded Low Alloy Steel to Environmentally Assisted Cracking

Libya is an important oil country particularly to European countries. The combustion products of fossil fuels are causing great damage through pollution, acid rains and the greenhouse effect. Hydrogen can be stored in three different ways, as a gas, as liquid, as a material and metal hydrides. Low alloy steels have been widely used in different scale welded structures. The mechanical properties...

Acoustic Emission during Stress Corrosion Cracking Test

AE monitoring from various types of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) has been conducted for the past 15 years in our laboratory. This paper discusses AE results of active-path dissolution-type SCC of austenitic stainless steel in chloride solution and fused salt, fluoride and polythionic acid solutions, brass in ammonia (Mattosson's solution), and carbon steels in nitrite solution. Transgranular...

ELECTROCHEMICAL NOISE ANALYSIS OF 70-30 BRASS DURING STRESS CORROSION CRACKING TEST IN MATTSON S SOLUTION

An investigation of the electrochemical noise generation during Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) of 70-30 Brass in Mattson's solution was conducted. The fluctuations of potential and current were monitored. The relationship between potential and current fluctuations has been evaluated in time domain and the obtained data has been analyzed in the frequency domain using Power Spectral Density (PSD...
