The Influence of The Oxide Layer on The Stress Corrosion Cracking Initiation in The Case of Incoloy 800 in The Alkaline Environment
Abstract: Oxidized and non-oxidized C-rings cuts from Incoloy 800 tubes were tested with the purpose to study the influence of the oxide layer in the first step of the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) mechanism. A mechanical pre-crack of 100mm depth was executed on the external side of the C-rings in order to create some stress concentrations. The oxidized C-rings were obtained by autoclaving for 20 days in demineralised water adjusted with …
