Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-KB-811

Project closed

Start date 1 December 1987

End date 30 November 1990

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) "technical steel research", 1986-1990

Total cost € 205 500,00

EU contribution € 123 300,00

Coordinated by

Objective

The purpose of the investigation will be to determine the incidence of low temperature stress corrosion cracking with reference to relevant environmental and material variables, and to examine the mechanisms by which such corrosion occurs. The overall aim of the programme will be to provide information to architects and engineers regarding the safe limiting conditions for the use of austenitic stainless steels such that catastrophic stress corrosion failures can be prevented in the future.
