Abstrakt: We consider the case of in-service development of through defects in thin plates of heat exchangers separating the working and cooling media, which affects their functional properties as a result of mixing of the indicated media. The plates are made of 18Cr–8Ni-type steel with insignificant content of molybdenum characterized by the detected susceptibility to corrosion and stress-corrosion fracture in both media. The results of microfractographic analysis demonstrate that the formation of defects is caused by the corrosion pitting and corrosion-fatigue fracture of steel, mainly at the sites of contact of the ribs in neighboring plates. In the zones of local plastic deformation, as a result of contact fatigue, we observe the intense process of twinning, which most likely promotes the intergranular corrosive crack growth.
