Hot salt stress corrosion cracking by silver chloride in Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo

Hot salt stress-corrosion cracking (HSSCC) of titanium alloys has been found in the presence of chloride and other halide salts. Here, a series of AgCl HSSCC tests on Ti-6246 were conducted using a two-point bending rig at 380-500°C to determine the boundary conditions of stress and temperature. Rap...
