The combined addition of Si and Cu is effective in order to improve the stress corrosion cracking SCC resistance in hot water environment, and SUS315J1 18Cr-10Ni-1.5Si-1Mo-3Cu has been developed and put in practical use. But, the preset temperature of equipments for supplying hot water in recent years has tended to become high near 100. Moreover, the influence of anion-species included in hot water on SCC has not been confirmed yet. The SCC resistance of various stainless steels was examined by the immersion test using spot-welded specimens in 200 mg/L Cl solution at 60, 95 and 125. The materials used were SUS304, SUS315J1, SUS316 and SUS444 cold-rolled steel. SUS315J1 showed the good SCC resistance compared with SUS304 and SUS316 at a temperature under 95. The influence of various anion-species NO 3 , SO 4 2 , CO 3 2 and HCO 3 on SCC was considered by the immersion test or electrochemical measurement in 200 mgL 1 Cl solution. These anion-species that generally act as a corrosion inhibitor performed as accelerator on SCC initiation in addition of a small amount of anions. However, SCC tended not to occur in SUS315J1 in these solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
