To understand the mechanisms behind chlorine-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) in 304 stainless steel, synchrotron high energy x-rays were used to perform in-situ x-ray microtomography on a pre-cracked sample under load in a corrosive simulated marine environment. The tomography scans showed the crack morphology evolving into a branching crack around the surface of the sample. Finite element analysis and stress intensity analysis are conducted to explain the observed crack branching.
