Evaluation of susceptibility of AISI 304 to stress-corrosion cracking in terms of crack nucleation and crack propagation

This thesis presents the work performed to evaluate the susceptibility of AISI 304 to stress-corrosion cracking in terms of time to crack nucleation and rate of crack propagation. U-bend specimens were exposed to magnesium chloride solutions boiling at atmospheric pressure for some predetermined tim...
