Corrosion behavior of a 25 pct Cr-7 pct Ni-3 pct Mo duplex stainless steel was investigated to clarify stress and environmental conditions where stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was not present. SCC occurred most severely at a strain rate of 3 x 10/sup -6/s/sup -1/ and susceptibility decreased at either faster or slower strain rates. This critical strain rate was similar to the one found in the 42 pct MgCl/sub 2/ solution (143 /sup 0/C). SCC propagated in transgranular manner through ferrite grains and preferential dissolution occurred in austenite. The effects of partial pressure of H/sub 2/S, chloride concentration, pH, and temperature on susceptibility of solution-treated and cold-drawn steel were examined. The critical conditions where SCC appeared estimated.
