Abstract
An austenitic stainless steel tank used for storing liquid nitrogen tetroxide (N 2 O 4 ) had shown leaks while in service. The repair welding of the tank could not extend the life of the tank much. The leaked portion was subject to detailed failure analysis using standard metallographic techniques. The results revealed that the failure was mainly due to stress corrosion cracking.
