Effect of Temperature on the Stress Corrosion Cracking of 304L Austenitic Stainless Steels in Alkaline Solution
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: A slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) test was carried out to investigate the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of the sensitized 304L austenitic stainless steels (ASSs) in alkaline solution (0.5M NaOH). Mechanical properties and fracture morphology evolutions of the 304L ASSs were studied as a function of temperature through slow speed tensile tester and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the tensile strength and percentage elongation after fracture significantly reduced as the test temperature rose. Fractographic examination revealed both ductile and brittle fracture features for the specimens tested in different environments. However, the proportion of brittle fracture characteristics changed with the temperature.
