CHROMIUM PLATING FOR PROTECTION AGAINST STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF HARDENED AISI 410 STEEL
Because of its high corrosion resistance properties, chromium electroplate should offer protection to AISI 419 steel against stress corrosion cracking. Tests have been made (KAPL and Bettis) on chromium plates on test specimens as deposited by two different sources in conformance with Bettis and USMC specifications. These deposits either offered protection to hardened (RC36- 42) AISI 410 against stress corrosion cracking, or caused accelerated stress corrosion cracking under conditions which did not crack unplated material. At present there is no significant data which could give definite clues for these extreme differences in the corrosive protective values. The results of tests so far strongly question tbe value of chromium plate as a means to protect AISI 410 against stress corrosion cracking. (A.C.)
