Abstract
The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) propagation behavior of solution-annealed and precipitation-hardened Alloy 718 was investigated. The results show γ″ and γ′ precipitates are beneficial on retarding its crack growth under constant loads. Nano-sized precipitates at grain boundary (GB) tend to impede GB migration and oxidation beyond the crack tip, thereby compensating for the detrimental effect of a steeper strain gradient resulting from prominent elevated yield strength. The observed 2–40 times increase in CGR in hydrogenated water (near the Ni/NiO boundary) primarily attributes to the preferential GB oxidation and instability of the oxides during phase transition.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
