CHROMIUM ELECTROPLATES FOR CORROSION PROTECTION OF STRESSED AISI 410 IN HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH PURITY WATER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4213498
The use of chromium plates for protection of AISI 410 against stress corrosion cracking has given anomalous results. The coating either offered protection under conditions which produced failure in unplated material or caused accelerated failures under conditions in which unplated material did not fail. Factors which may have contributed to the anomalous results are discussed. Introduction of oxygen into rosion failures, especially for the chromium-plated samples, with applied stresses as low as 60,000 psi. From present available information, chromium deposits are not recommended for corrosion protection of AISI 410 materials susceptible to stress corrosion and/or intergranular attack.(auth)
