Objective
Industrial experience frequently demonstrates that Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) affects vessels whose nominal service stress is lower than the stress threshold with respect to corrosion. This phenomenon is generally due to manufacturing processes, which induce residual stresses. The main objective of this research will be to ascertain whether the residual stresses of stainless steel products overload the intrinsic threshold stress of the candidate grades. In consequence, this will enable improvements in manufacturing process steps to be made in order to extend the service life of industrial structures. The second objective will deal with the effect of stresses on pit initiation and the mechanisms, which could eventually link crack initiation to existing pits. A better understanding of these processes would permit an improvement in the SCC resistance of industrial stainless steel products and vessels.
