With the growth of urbanization and industries, the seawater near coastal areas has become polluted, and the nickel aluminium bronze components around coastal areas are affected by ammonia-containing seawater. Unfortunately, the influence of the ammonia concentration in seawater on the stress corrosion cracking of thin nickel aluminium bronze components with large plastic zones at the defects has not been evaluated before. In the present work, stress corrosion cracking experiments on nickel aluminium bronze components under artificial seawater and ammonia-containing artificial seawater were conducted using a four-point bending technique. The elastic–plastic fracture mechanics parameter ( J-integral) was evaluated using finite element analysis. The J-integral successfully characterized the crack growth rate under the present corrosive environments. Stress corrosion cracking was possible under both artificial seawater and ammonia-containing artificial seawater. The threshold J-integral for susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking ( JSCC) and fracture toughness ( JC) was the highest for stress corrosion cracking under artificial seawater and decreased as the amount of ammonium hydroxide added to the artificial seawater increased.

Localized corrosion, and the associated stress corrosion cracking compromised the integrity of the 610 mm diameter X-52 Rainbow pipeline. Following incidents of rupture, an extensive excavation effort was undertaken to locate and rehabilitate the line. Limited correlation’s were noted with the type of soil, and the operating line pressure. A elastic-plastic fracture model was developed to manage the SCC on this pipeline. Hydrotests were deemed necessary in certain portions of the line, based on model predictions on susceptibility to failure. Additionally, the model was further applied to define hydrotest frequency.

The intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) of sensitized Type 304 stainless steel (SS) has been investigated by slow strain rate tests (SSRTs) in 289°C water containing sulfate impurity. Both smooth and circumferentially notched specimens were used to assess the effects of strain concentrations on stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Experiments were conducted over a range of nominal strain rates of 10−5 to 10−7 s−1. A comparison of the results observed for the smooth and notched specimens suggests that the estimated growth rates of small cracks in SSRT specimen geometry is influenced by the presence of strain concentrations. In particular, the average crack growth rates estimated from tests performed at the same nominal strain rate are observed to increase with the notch depth, and power-law relationships exist between strain rate and SCC parameters such as failure time and crack growth rate. The strain concentration factors at the notch roots of Type 304 specimens subjected to axial load have been estimated by finite-element elastic-plastic stress analyses, as well as by Neuber’s rule. The nominal and crack-tip strain rate effects on SCC in both smooth and notched specimens are interpreted in terms of a model based on elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and film-rupture mechanisms that invoke diffusion-controlled SCC growth kinetics.
