Abstrakt: The effect of low-temperature annealing on the relaxation of residual stresses and on the stress-corrosion resistance of carbon steels was investigated. It was shown that stress-corrosion cracking of welded joints in carbon steels under the influence of boiling nitrate solutions and alkaline solutions is prevented by annealing at temperatures =450° C and =500° C, respectively.
