| 1. | The metallurgical report concluded that the cause was high ph stress corrosion cracking.
|
| 2. | It is highly corrosion resistant, except to stress corrosion cracking.
|
| 3. | Especially the selection of unsuitable stainless steels can cause problems with stress corrosion cracking.
|
| 4. | Overaging ( aging beyond the peak strength condition ) improves resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
|
| 5. | This makes the surface more prone to stress corrosion.
|
| 6. | Analysis of the joint showed traces of chlorine, indicating a stress corrosion cracking failure mode.
|
| 7. | Non-stainless varieties of maraging steel are moderately corrosion-resistant, and resist stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 8. | Surface compressive stresses confer resistance to metal fatigue and to some forms of stress corrosion.
|
| 9. | The heads would pop off from stress corrosion, allowing seawater to leak into the bilges.
|
| 10. | Alloy X7080-T7, with higher resistance to stress corrosion than 7079-T6, is being developed for thick parts.
