Evaluation of laser surface melting to mitigate chloride stress corrosion cracking in an austenitic stainless steel

This thesis evaluates the ability of laser surface melting to mitigate chloride stress corrosion cracking (See) of type 304 stainless steel. The effects of laser surface melting on microstructure, mechanical state, and corrosion behavior were examined. The major effect of laser surface melting of 30...
