Conclusions
-
1.
The increased resistance of steels to corrosion cracking is manifest in the longer induction period and lower crack propagation rate.
-
2.
Susceptibility to corrosion cracking depends essentially on the heat treatment. The structure with the highest thermodynamic stability has the highest resistance.
