Abstract

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of austenitic Fe18Cr10Mn alloys with 0.3N, 0.6N and 0.3N0.3C was investigated in aqueous chloride environment using a slow strain rate test method. The SCC susceptibility of Fe18Cr10Mn alloys in 2M NaCl solution at 50°C under constant anodic potential condition decreased with increase in N content from 0.3 to 0.6wt%, and with addition of 0.3wt% C to the Fe18Cr10Mn0.3N alloys. The present study strongly suggested that the beneficial effects of N and C on the SCC behavior of Fe18Cr10Mn alloys would be associated with the resistance to pitting corrosion initiation and the repassivation kinetics.
