Limitation in penetration depth is a concern in conventional TIG welding. To improve penetration capability of TIG process, Flux Bounded TIG (FBTIG) has been developed. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of FBTIG welds of aluminum alloy AA 2219 T87 is evaluated in 3.5 weight percent NaCl solution using Slow Strain Rate Test technique (SSRT) as per ASTM G129. SCC index defined as the ratio of the elongation of tensile tested specimen in NaCl to that of air is taken as a measure of the susceptibility to cracking. Based on the SCC index, it is concluded that the SCC resistance of FBTIG joints are good and comparable to that of conventional TIG welds.

Recently, there has been an interest in aluminum alloys by many industrial areas as an environmentally-friendly material reducing environment pollution. Now, especially for maritime industries aluminum alloys are in the spotlight for ship construction instead of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) or even stainless steel. Aluminum alloy ships are fast, lightweight, and exhibit a great load capacity when compared to traditional steel hulls. The Navy’s number one problem is maintenance due to corrosion impact. Annual combined costs of corrosion for army ground vehicles and navy ships range around $6.14B/year. Corrosion impacts the readiness of most Navy systems and is a major factor contributor to life cycle cost. Hence the vision for corrosion technologies is to develop and implement corrosion control and prevention technologies to minimize the impact of material deterioration and maintenance costs. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and environment-induced cracking (EIC) has been extensively investigated using various methods to improve performance, designs, and service life for these structures. Present interested research areas are advanced smart coatings technologies for corrosion control and prevention of its effects under sea water and marine environments. With the rapid development of modern technology, foil metals have found applications in a variety of areas. The mechanical behavior of these materials may be different from that of bulk materials due to size effects. Therefore, models and conclusions for bulk characterization might not be applicable when analyzing foil materials. The purpose of this experiment is to describe and examine the susceptibility of aluminum alloy foil to stress corrosion cracking under 3.5% w.t NaCl solution. Mechanical properties of aluminum specimens were investigated using slow strain rate tests of 0.001 mm/min under load control while inside an environmental chamber at a flow rate of 150 ml/min. Smooth specimen samples with thickness of 0.0508 mm were subjected to monotonic tensile tests until fracture in ambient air and under corrosive solution environment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze stress corrosion cracking and crack propagation observing the different microstructural and intergranular fracture deformations. A digital microscope camera was used to observe and perform an analysis on the corroded specimen surface. A comparison of stress, strain, and time results of fracture between air and 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature were calculated to demonstrate the susceptibility of the aluminum material to SCC. Test standards regarding stress corrosion cracking in metal foils are still limited.

Alumina coating was formed on AA7020 aluminum alloy by micro arc oxidation (MAO) method and its corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviors were examined in 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic polarization (PP) was used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the coating and slow strain rate test (SSRT) was used for evaluating the environmental cracking resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution. Results indicated that MAO coating on AA7020 alloy significantly improved the corrosion resistance. However the environmental cracking resistance was found to be only marginal. Key words: aluminum, micro arc oxidation, x-ray diffraction, stress corrosion cracking

Effects of pH value on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of super 13Cr tubing steel were investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution, that mechanics properties and fracture morphology and SCC resistance and stress corrosion cracking susceptibility index (kscc) were analyzed by slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) stress corrosion cracking experiment method and σ-ε curve and SEM. the results Effects of pH value on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of super 13Cr tubing steel were investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution, that mechanics properties and fracture morphology and SCC resistance and stress corrosion cracking susceptibility index (kscc) were analyzed by slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) stress corrosion cracking experiment method and σ-ε curve and SEM. the results showed that super 13Cr tubing steel has good properties of resistance stress corrosion cracking in acidic medium, effects of pH value on super13Cr tubing steel resistance stress corrosion was not very obviously in the acidic medium, with pH value decreased, super 13Cr tubing steel tensile strength decreased, elongation rate decreased, fracture area contraction ratio decreased, break time reduced, the tendency of the stress corrosion cracking increased. the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility index kσ and kε were all increasing, that increased degree of kε were obviously than kσ, effects of pH value on the plastic deformation of super 13Cr tubing steel were greater than tensile strength.
