Book excerpt: The problem of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which causes sudden failure of metals and other materials subjected to stress in corrosive environment(s), has a significant impact on a number of sectors including the oil and gas industries and nuclear power production. Stress corrosion cracking reviews the fundamentals of the phenomenon as well as examining stress corrosion behaviour in specific materials and particular industries. The book is divided into four parts. Part one covers the mechanisms of SCC and hydrogen embrittlement, while the focus of part two is on methods of testing for SCC in metals. Chapters in part three each review the phenomenon with reference to a specific material, with a variety of metals, alloys and composites discussed, including steels, titanium alloys and polymer composites. In part four, the effect of SCC in various industries is examined, with chapters covering subjects such as aerospace engineering, nuclear reactors, utilities and pipelines. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Stress corrosion cracking is an essential reference for engineers and designers working with metals, alloys and polymers, and will be an invaluable tool for any industries in which metallic components are exposed to tension, corrosive environments at ambient and high temperatures. Examines the mechanisms of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) presenting recognising testing methods and materials resistant to SCC Assesses the effect of SCC on particular metals featuring steel, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, magnesium alloys, copper-based alloys and welds in steels Reviews the monitoring and management of SCC and the affect of SCC in different industries such as petrochemical and aerospace

Download or read book Comparative Stress Corrosion Cracking and General Corrosion Resistance of Annealed and Hardened 440C Stainless Steel written by M. J. Mendreck and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) characteristics of annealed and hardened 440C stainless steel were evaluated in high humidity and 3.5-percent NaCl solution. Corrosion testing consisted of an evaluation of flat plates, with and without grease, in high humidity, as well as electrochemical testing in 3.5-percent NaCl. Stress corrosion testing consisted of conventional, constant strain, smooth bar testing in high humidity in addition to two relatively new techniques under evaluation at MSFC. These techniques involve either incremental or constant rate increases in the load applied to a precracked SE(B) specimen, monitoring the crack-opening-displacement reponse for indications of crack growth. The electrochemical corrosion testing demonstrated an order of magnitude greater general corrosion rate in the annealed 440C. All techniques for stress corrosion testing showed substantially better SCC resistance in the annealed material. The efficacy of the new techniques for stress corrosion testing was demonstrated both by the savings in time and the ability to better quantify SCC data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress corrosion testing methods are discussed from a general point of view with an emphasis on the desirability of standardization. The usefulness of smooth, notched, or precracked specimens is compared and some results using the different types are presented. Some precautions that should be taken are described: these include avoidance of crevice corrosion, galvanic effects, or hydrogen embrittlement results. Finally, since it is possible to find some type of environment that will crack almost every engineering alloy, it is important to use realistic loading methods and test media that relate to material serviceability for a particular application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report deals with the stress-corrosion cracking of aluminum alloys, and it represents an effort by DMIC to expand on the information contained in DMIC Memorandum 202, 'Stress-Corrosion Cracking of Aluminum Alloys', dated February 15, 1965. DMIC Report 228 begins by presenting a comprehensive definition of stress-corrosion cracking. This is followed by sections dealing with (1) the historical development and growth in awareness of the problem, (2) the mechanisms involved, and (3) the theory of stress-corrosion cracking. A section on experimental techniques is presented. These techniques include test methods used to determine the susceptibility of alloys to stress-corrosion cracking, as well as more refined methods of studying the fundamental mechanisms of the problem. Different evaluation methods, applicable to obtaining the different objectives of stress-corrosion testing, are also presented. All of the foregoing serve as background to the sections on stress-corrosion-cracking behavior of aluminum alloys and preventive measures. (Author).

This book was released on 1993 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to predict when and how a material will crack under environmental conditions, engineers used to subject it to pressure for a long time, up to a year in cases; about 20 years ago, a testing method was developed that slowly but inexorably increases the pressure, which seems to cut down the ti
Download or read book Stress Corrosion Testing Methods written by Sara J. Ketcham and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress corrosion tests are conducted for a variety of reasons, the reason frequently determining the type of test. Some of the reasons are: (1) Evaluate a metal or alloy, or various heat treatments of one alloy for susceptibility to stress corrosion in certain environments. (2) Compare stress corrosion susceptibilities of various alloys.(3) Evaluate environments which might accelerate stress corrosion cracking in various alloys. (4) Evaluate a specific service requirement with regard to the possibility of stress corrosion. (5) Evaluate the effectiveness of coatings or other protective measures for reducing stress corrosion of susceptible metals and alloys. Stress corrosion tests may be conducted under conditions of either constant deflection or of constant load. An important difference between them is that under constant load general corrosion may cause a decrease in cross-sectional area with subsequent increase in stress per unit area. This can lead to mechanical rather than stress corrosion failure. Under constant deflection, the stress per unit area tends either to stay constant or decrease. Therefore, failure by stress rupture is not as likely to occur, but complete fracture from stress corrosion also may not occur because of stress relaxation during the earlier stages of cracking. For (1) and (2), both types of tests should be conducted in order to obtain a complete picture of the susceptibility of an alloy to stress corrosion, preferably using specimens oriented in more than one direction with respect to the rolling direction. Behavior in the short-transverse direction is especially important for study. For (3) and (5), the most important considerations should be selection of a specimen type and a stressing method which provide reproducibility of stress pattern and stress level from one specimen to another, and selection of a material known to be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. In materials that are notch sensitive, care should be taken to eliminate notches, scratches, etc., which might act as stress raisers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explains why pipeline stress corrosion cracking happens and how it can be prevented Pipelines sit at the heart of the global economy. When they are in good working order, they deliver fuel to meet the ever-growing demand for energy around the world. When they fail due to stress corrosion cracking, they can wreak environmental havoc. This book skillfully explains the fundamental science and engineering of pipeline stress corrosion cracking based on the latest research findings and actual case histories. The author explains how and why pipelines fall prey to stress corrosion cracking and then offers tested and proven strategies for preventing, detecting, and monitoring it in order to prevent pipeline failure. Stress Corrosion Cracking of Pipelines begins with a brief introduction and then explores general principals of stress corrosion cracking, including two detailed case studies of pipeline failure. Next, the author covers: Near-neutral pH stress corrosion cracking of pipelines High pH stress corrosion cracking of pipelines Stress corrosion cracking of pipelines in acidic soil environments Stress corrosion cracking at pipeline welds Stress corrosion cracking of high-strength pipeline steels The final chapter is dedicated to effective management and mitigation of pipeline stress corrosion cracking. Throughout the book, the author develops a number of theoretical models and concepts based on advanced microscopic electrochemical measurements to help readers better understand the occurrence of stress corrosion cracking. By examining all aspects of pipeline stress corrosion cracking—the causes, mechanisms, and management strategies—this book enables engineers to construct better pipelines and then maintain and monitor them to ensure safe, reliable energy supplies for the world.
