Intercrystalline Failure of Stainless Steel in Saline Water
Abstract
FAILURE of stainless steel in chloride solutions has been the subject of several investigations, and a recent communication has commented upon similar failures arising in alkaline conditions where heat transfer occurs. Although it is generally stated that cracking due to chlorides is invariably transcrystalline, and that due to alkalis is intercrystalline, Wanklyn and Jones have reported that both forms of failure occur in alkaline solutions.
