CORROSION RESEARCH ROUNDUP

CORROSION RESEARCH ROUNDUP GERMANY Stress corrosion in highlystressed steels. A description is given of the appearance of cracks of a predominantly transcrystalline character in ordinary and alloyed heattreated steels used in condensation units of highpressure plants, and experiments made to get these appearances under laboratory conditions. These cracks may be caused by the hydrogen resulting from very slight corrosion on the surface of the steel when in the presence of certain specific active substances, especially hydrogen sulphide. The hydrogen penetrates the metal, where, as a result of recombination, it creates very high local pressures. Extensive research has been undertaken in the U.S.A. in connection with similar phenomena appearing in the mineral oil industry. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials Emerald Publishing

Abstract

GERMANY Stress corrosion in highlystressed steels. A description is given of the appearance of cracks of a predominantly transcrystalline character in ordinary and alloyed heattreated steels used in condensation units of highpressure plants, and experiments made to get these appearances under laboratory conditions. These cracks may be caused by the hydrogen resulting from very slight corrosion on the surface of the steel when in the presence of certain specific active substances, especially hydrogen sulphide. The hydrogen penetrates the metal, where, as a result of recombination, it creates very high local pressures. Extensive research has been undertaken in the U.S.A. in connection with similar phenomena appearing in the mineral oil industry.
