Abstract

The effect of corrosive environment on corrosion fatigue crack growth (CFCG) behavior of oil-grade nickel-base alloy 718 is studied. The results demonstrate that there is no obvious effect of 3.5wt.% NaCl solution at RT, 50°C and 80°C on CGCG rates while 21wt.% NaCl solution at 80°C produces a deleterious effect on CFCG rates compared to the ones tested in air. Potentiodynamic polarization results show that alloy 718 exhibits passive behavior in 3.5wt.% NaCl solution, while pitting corrosion resistance decreases with increasing solution temperature. Nevertheless, alloy 718 shows active corrosion behavior in 21wt.% NaCl solution at 80°C.
