Cleavage-dissolution assisted stress corrosion cracking under elastic loads
Abstract As a significant cause of disastrous accidents, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) under elastic loads was investigated in type 316 L single-crystal stainless steel immersed in a boiling 45 wt% MgCl2 solution. Three-dimensional microcrack morphologies, characterized using synchrotron-based X-r...
