Mechanical criterion for nucleation of intergranular stress corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steel

This study investigated mechanical criteria for the nucleation of intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in thermally-sensitized type 304 austenitic stainless steel. Constant load testing was conducted on a stainless-steel specimen in a tetrathionate solution, and the cracking behavior, inc...
