Discussion of corrosion mechanisms
Description
This appendix summarizes discussions directed toward developing an understanding of the mechanisms of cracking and factors which may contribute to both crack initiation and propagation. Discussions considered five mechanisms originally postulated and ranked in order of likelihood of occurrence; primary side initiated pure water cracking; secondary side initiated cracking; hydrogen embrittlement; pitting - OD/ID initiated; and intergranular attack - secondary side initiation
