METHOD OF MITIGATING STRESS CORROSION CRACKING IN AUSTENITIC SOLID SOLUTION STRENGTHENED STAINLESS STEELS

摘要

A method of providing resistance to intergranular stress corrosion cracking in an alloy material, the method comprising sensitizing the alloy to form carbides, allowing the carbides to precipitate, and applying a heat treatment to replenish a chromium-depleted zone.
