Popis: It was shown that the maximum resistance to stress-corrosion cracking in both pure and inhibited electrolytes is conferred on steel by quenching followed by tempering at 430° C and grinding. The effectiveness of inhibitors is considerably reduced in the presence of residual tensile stresses in steel surface layers. The addition of inhibitors to an electrolyte leads to an increase in the time-to-rupture of steel but has practically no effect on the kinetics of the growth of corrosion cracks.
