Description

Tapered cylindrical specimens have been used to evaluate the crack initiation strain for both annealed and sensitized 316 stainless steel in 5 ppm chloride containing water at temperatures from 150 degrees C to 300 degrees C. Parallel gauge length specimens were used to determine the potential ranges for cracking of annealed and of sensitized material and reference data for each temperature was obtained by testing at very negative applied potentials. The latter data were used in conjunction with the tapered specimen results to evaluate the minimum strain require to initiate cracks
