STRESS INVOLVED CORROSION MECHANISMS

Aluminum alloys - chlorides, seawater. Austentitic stainless steels - neutral halides, hot halides, concentrated caustics above 120C. Ferritic stainless steels - Ammonium nitrates and chlorides, hypochlorites. Carbon ferritic steels - caustic NaOH solutions greater than 50C, calcium, ammonium and sodium nitrate solutions, seawater. ................
