Research Abstract |
A visualization method has been developed, where local and transient anodic events occurring in initiation processes of stress corrosion cracking can be observed in a wide window and in real time. The initiation process was found to be intermittent and very small-scale anodic events and their repassivation. Cracks tend to initiate at the location where a few anodic events occur in proximity to each other. In most cases, oxide inclusions containing Si, Mg, or Al, provided initiation sites. Stress corrosion cracks tend to retard when they reach δ-ferrite located on grain boundaries (especially on triple points). We may be able to effectively improve SCC initiation life of steels by locatingδ-ferrite on grain boundaries as much as up to a few % of volume fraction.
