Abstract

Abstract The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of some high strength carbon steels in HCl solutions was studied by use of the potentiostatic polarization technique. The anodic and cathodic polarization data show that the SCC process on these steels is controlled by mixed anodic dissolution and cathodic hydrogen embrittlement processes. Also it was found that the susceptibility to SCC of the alloys depends on applied tensile stress, concentration, and temperature of the corrosive solution.
