Cathodic and anodic polarization curves of the specimens were obtained at about 22 periodic intervals throughout the exposure period. Corrosion currents, calculated from curre nts at break s in the curves, were converted to corrosion rates e xpressed as weight losses by applying Farad ay's law.

Micro structural changes occurring during creep are correlated with the Row, fracture, and ductility of the specimens. Light and electron microscope observations indicate that increases in creep strength were associated with the formation of rather straight discontinuous slip bands, a well defined subgrain s tructure, small precipitates of Ni\"AI, and a general distribution of these precipitates throughout the grains. Creep strength at 1200 OF was relatively unaffected by prior cold-drawing or aging_ [nter crystalline cracking, accompanied by low ductility, was evident at 900 and 1200 OF and slow creep rates; whereas transcrystalline cracking and high ductilit y values were observed at 700 OF.","PeriodicalId":367668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, Section C: Engineering and Instrumentation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121617843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
