A STUDY OF METHODS FOR PREVENTION OF CHLORIDE STRESS CORROSION OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL. Progress Report I. Memo Report 133

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4263415
Stainless steels are susceptible to stress corrosion crackig when exposed to chloride-bearing water. The cracking of nuclear naval vessel piping could be produced from bilge water splashing insulated piping, permeating the insulation and eventually contacting the pipe wall. This project is to investigate the occurrence of chloride stress corrosion of Type 304 stainless steel pipe from this action and evaluate methods which will inhibit attack. A solution to the problem is being sought by experimental procedure and from a survey of industrial experience. (auth)
