Abstract
Surface finish or integrity is always an important problem threatening the safety service of components. In this study, the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) initiation behavior of Monel 400 alloy with different surface working treatments (mechanical grinding (TD specimen and PD specimen) and electrolytic polishing (EP specimen)) in hydrofluoric acid (HF) vapor were compared by conducting slow strain rate test (SSRT) and constant loading test (CLT). Although SSRT can evaluate the enhancement effect of mechanical grinding on SCC susceptibility, it cannot quantify its contribution to the crack initiation stage. The CLT shows the cracking initiation rate of different specimens in order of: EP specimen
期刊介绍:
CORROSION is the premier research journal featuring peer-reviewed technical articles from the world’s top researchers and provides a permanent record of progress in the science and technology of corrosion prevention and control. The scope of the journal includes the latest developments in areas of corrosion metallurgy, mechanisms, predictors, cracking (sulfide stress, stress corrosion, hydrogen-induced), passivation, and CO2 corrosion.
70+ years and over 7,100 peer-reviewed articles with advances in corrosion science and engineering have been published in CORROSION. The journal publishes seven article types – original articles, invited critical reviews, technical notes, corrosion communications fast-tracked for rapid publication, special research topic issues, research letters of yearly annual conference student poster sessions, and scientific investigations of field corrosion processes. CORROSION, the Journal of Science and Engineering, serves as an important communication platform for academics, researchers, technical libraries, and universities.
Articles considered for CORROSION should have significant permanent value and should accomplish at least one of the following objectives:
• Contribute awareness of corrosion phenomena,
• Advance understanding of fundamental process, and/or
• Further the knowledge of techniques and practices used to reduce corrosion.
