Stress Corrosion Cracking

Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a cracking phenomenon that is crucial to consider when working with specialty alloys. SCC is often associated with chlorides but can also occur with exposure to caustic and other corrosive media. The most common type of stress corrosion cracking in stainless steels occurs in chloride environments, which will be the focus of this discussion.

Inclusions in Specialty Alloys

When molten metal (steel, stainless steel, or nickel alloys) solidifies, the center of an ingot or slab is the last to freeze. While non-metallic impurities (oxides, nitrides, sulfides, silicides) settle throughout the ingot or slab, the greatest concentration of these inclusions settle along the solidification front…
