“…The DSSs have, in general, better resistance to localized corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) than single-phase austenitic or ferritic stainless steels [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 9 , 11 ]. The resistance to crack growth of DSS is also greater than that for single-phase stainless steel, because a crack in DSSs stops growing when it meets the other phase [ 1 , 5 , 6 , 10 , 11 ]. The DSSs are therefore widely used where both high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical strength are required, such as for chemical tankers, desalination plants, chemical and petrochemical processes, pipelines, and oil and gas separators [ 1 , 5 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 11 ].…”
