TLDR
In this article, a survey of failures of standard austenitic stainless steels in indoor swimming pool atmospheres which have occurred in recent years in Europe and North America is described.Abstract:
Work undertaken to elucidate failures of standard austenitic stainless steels in indoor swimming pool atmospheres which have occurred in recent years in Europe and North America is described. The unusual feature of these failures is that they occurred by a stress corrosion cracking (SCC) mechanism at ambient temperature. Conditions which have given rise to room temperature SCC in laboratory tests are described and mechanisms which may give rise to such conditions in practice are postulated. The work described also involved a survey of conditions in indoor swimming pools as well as experimental work on a range of stainless steels in various environments.read more

Role of residual stresses induced by industrial fabrication on stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of austenitic stainless steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of residual stress generated during tube fabrication, roll expansion and machining of stainless steel on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility was studied by testing fabricated tubes, tube-tube sheet joint and heavily machined plate of austenitic stainless steel (SS) in boiling MgCl2.

Microstructural changes in AISI 304L stainless steel due to surface machining: Effect on its susceptibility to chloride stress corrosion cracking
Swati Ghosh,Vivekanand Kain +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface machining on the susceptibility of 304L stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking and revealed that surface machined stainless steel results in extensive grain refinement, strain induced martensite transformation and high magnitude of plastic deformation near the surface.

Stress—corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel in hydrochloric acid media at room temperature
G. Bianchi,F. Mazza,S. Torchio +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that at higher HCl concentrations, corrosion rates increase and uneven, general corrosion occurs instead of cracking, and the development of pitting and stress corrosion cracking under active conditions precludes the conclusion that active-passive cells always play a role in localized corrosion and, in particular, in stress-corrosion cracking.

Corrosion problems caused by bromine formation in MSF desalination plants
J.W. Oldfield,B. Todd +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that for such plants operating with residual chlorine levels in the range 0.2 to 0.5 ppm, the condansates from the steam that has passed through the deaerator into the vent system could well contain between 10-100 ppm Br 2 ; these levels of bromine can cause severe localised corrosion problems with conventional stainless steels.
