Depending on the heat treatment, Alloy 600 shows very varying resistance to intergranular corrosion as measured by the ASTM G-28 test. Alloys with high carbon and/or low titanium contents show very high susceptibility to intergranular corrosion also in the solution-annealed condition. Alloys with low contents of carbon and titanium have good resistance in the solution annealed condition. Alloy 800 (Sanicro 30) shows very good resistance in the G-28 test. As indicated by the G-28 test, the microstructure of Alloy 600 is changed by exposure at 295/sup 0/C for 24000 h. This is also the case for Alloy 800 in the stress-relieved condition, whereas the microstructure was not influenced in the solution-annealed condition. In the autoclave test both alloys showed very good resistance to SCC attack regardless of heat treatment and crevice conditions. However, one must bear in mind that the effect of the nitriding conditions could not be evaluated. Autoclave testing in high-pressure water-20 ppM Cl/sup -/, 1 ppM O/sub 2/, 295/sup 0/C, 10/sup 7/, Pa-containing hydrazine for 24000 h gives nitriding in Alloy 600 specimens. 11 fig, 3 tables.
