An Electrochemical Prediction Method For Caustic Scc Of Fe-Cr-Ni Alloy, Chun-Bo Huang, Zhan-Peng Lv, Wu Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Fe_Cr_Ni alloy (alloy 800 M) in hot concentrated caustic solution was investigated by means of tests of C_rings under controlled potentials. The steady dissolution current densities( i st ) of the plate specimens and C_rings polarized potentiostatically were measured. The simplifed steady potentiostatical curves were drawn on the basis of i st . The ratio R PD measured from i st and steady passive current density i p at low potentials ( R PD = i st / i p ) was designed as a polarization dissolution susceptibility parameter. The parameter R PD values of …
