Influence of Imposed Strain Rate on Stress Corrosion Damage Mechanisms in Synthetic Seawater of Austenitic–Ferritic Stainless Steel X6CrNiMoCu25-6
Austenitic–ferritic stainless steels are frequently selected for components in seawater-cooling pumps in power plants and nuclear stations due to their generally superior resistance to localized and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in comparison with austenitic grades. However, during operation, these cast components ar...
