Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study elucidated the processes of SCC initiation and growth in stainless steels subjected to tension in a corrosive environment to evaluate their SCC life. SCC initiates and grows at grain boundaries (GBs) with high susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. Crack initiation is characterized by normal strain at a GB on the surface of the material, which is caused by stress/strain concentration due to dislocation pile-up near GBs under tensile loading. Crack propagation rate can be formulated using the stress intensity factor K and its gradient dK/da.
