Abstract

Understanding stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of X80 steel under service-relevant elastic stress is limited by the lack of crack-tip, in-situ evidence. Using SECM SVET and MECT, we demonstrate that 200 MPa elastic stress is a mechanistic switch. It triggers an electrochemical inversion from intense cathodic alkalization to localized anodic dissolution, creating a stable "small anode-large cathode" cell. This amplifies the crack-tip corrosion current more than 2.5 times and expands the active anode to at least 200 μm radius from the tip, creating a non-equilibrium acidic microenvironment. Our findings provide quantitative, crack-tip-resolved data essential for redefining SCC mechanisms and improving predictive models.

X80管线钢应力腐蚀裂纹腐蚀机理的原位微电化学综合研究

由于缺乏裂纹尖端的原位证据，对X80钢在服役相关弹性应力作用下的应力腐蚀开裂（SCC）的认识受到限制。利用SECM SVET和MECT，我们证明了200 MPa弹性应力是一个机械开关。它触发了从强烈的阴极碱化到局部阳极溶解的电化学转化，创造了一个稳定的“小阳极-大阴极”电池。这将裂纹尖端的腐蚀电流放大了2.5倍以上，并将活性阳极扩展到距离尖端至少200 μm的半径处，从而形成了非平衡酸性微环境。我们的研究结果为重新定义SCC机制和改进预测模型提供了定量的、可解决裂纹尖端问题的数据。
