Popis: This paper presents a study of the influence of chemical composition and microstructural changes on the caustic stress corrosion resistance of Inconel 800 alloy (UNS N08800). Slow strain rate tests were performed in deaerated sodium hydroxide solutions (up to 10%), at 350°C, on mill-annealed and sensitized specimens with various aluminum, titanium and carbon contents. The microalloying elements, titanium and aluminum, have been shown to improve the intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) performance of the low C (0.03%) materials but did not compensate for the deleterious effect of carbon in the high C (0.06%) heat. Alloys with different metallurgical states, resulting from different manufacturing processes, had similar behavior. A heat treatment at 575°C for 100 hours, producing sensitized structures, was generally detrimental.
