TL;DR: In this article, the strength of the 7050 aluminum alloy samples increased with increasing the cold rolling deformation, and the enlargement in the size and particle interval of the grain boundary precipitates improved the stress corrosion crack resistance of the CR samples compared to that of the T6 sample.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the stress corrosion cracking behavior of ZK60 magnesium alloy under different conditions, i.e. thin electrolyte layer (TEL) and solution, by slow strain rate tensile tests, electrochemical techniques, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with electron backscattered diffraction, and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: The work performed by Argonne National Laboratory on fatigue and environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) in light water reactors (LWRs) from April 1995 to December 1995 is summarized in this article.
Abstract: This report summarizes work performed by Argonne National Laboratory on fatigue and environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) in light water reactors (LWRs) from April 1995 to December 1995 Topics that have been investigated include fatigue of carbon and low-alloy steel used in reactor piping and pressure vessels, EAC of Alloy 600 and 690, and irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) of Type 304 SS Fatigue tests were conducted on ferritic steels in water that contained various concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) to determine whether a slow strain rate applied during different portions of a tensile-loading cycle are equally effective in decreasing fatigue life Crack-growth-rate tests were conducted on compact-tension specimens from several heats of Alloys 600 and 690 in simulated LWR environments Effects of fluoride-ion contamination on susceptibility to intergranular cracking of high- and commercial- purity Type 304 SS specimens from control-tensile tests at 288 degrees Centigrade Microchemical changes in the specimens were studied by Auger electron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to determine whether trace impurity elements may contribute to IASCC of these materials

Abstract: A critical review of the literature has been undertaken to establish the current state of knowledge and understanding of the corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of 13 wt-%Cr martensitic stainless steels for applications in the oil and gas industry. Corrosion data for 13%Cr martensitic stainless steels are critically evaluated to establish the conditions in which the various steels are in the active state, pitting or passive state. There is evidence that as welded specimens have poorer pitting resistance at ambient temperatures than at elevated temperatures owing to the formation of an oxidised layer, perhaps depleted in chromium. Data for hydrogen uptake and diffusivity in 13%Cr steels are reviewed. The results suggest that incorporation of Mo in the steel reduces the subsurface hydrogen content when the steel is in the active state, suggesting repressed dissolution kinetics. The data in the literature on SCC of modified 13%Cr steels indicate that increasing the temperature at pH values ...
