Significance and Use4.1 Stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel is ametallurgical phenomenon. One cause of stress corrosioncracking is the presence of contamin

11、ants in water solution,which can be concentrated at the stressed surface by evapora-tion of the water.4.2 There is an apparent correlation between stress corro-sion cracking of austenitic stainless steel and the use ofinsulation which either contains water-leachable chloride or, byreason of its wate

12、r absorptivity, acts as a vehicle through whichchlorides from outside the system are concentrated at thesurface of the stainless steel.3,4,54.3 Studies have shown that insulation containing certainwater-soluble compounds have the capacity to retard or prevent1This specification is under the jurisdic

Numerous materials thought to inhibit stresscorro

17、sion cracking have been tried with varying degrees ofsuccess. An inhibiting compound commonly used is sodiumsilicate. Present knowledge indicates that the sodium silicatedissociates in the presence of water, leaving the silicate ion toform a protective mechanism that inhibits or prevents thechloride

18、 ion from attacking the stainless steel. Under adverseenvironmental conditions, this protective agent will possibly beleached from the product with time and permanent protectionis not afforded.4.4 Test Method C 692 contains a procedure for determiningwhether or not stress corrosion cracking will occ

19、ur with a giventhermal insulation. The procedure is used to evaluate insulationmaterials have the potential to inhibit, to be passive, or activelycontribute to stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainlesssteels.4.5 Research has indicated that in addition to the halide ionchloride, fluoride ions

20、 have the potential to induce SCC in theabsence of inhibiting ions.6Two widely used insulation speci-fications that are similar to C 795 and are specific to SCC allowthe use of the same Test Methods C 692 and C 871 forevaluation of insulation materials. Both specifications requirefluoride ions to be

21、 included with chloride ions when evaluatingthe extractable ions and plotting them on the Fig. 1 acceptabil-ity graph. Fluoride has been added to chloride in Section 13and on Fig. 1 to be consistent with the other standards.4.6 Physical and chemical changes can occur when thermalinsulation, various

22、binders, or adhesives, or a combinationsthereof, are heated. Insulation materials are often exposed toprocess temperatures that are sufficient to cause changes.Various compounds thermally decompose increasing the solu-bility of some ions that leach out when exposed to water. Othercompounds have the

23、potential to become less soluble afterthermal exposure.4.7 The inhibitory qualities of sodium silicate compoundshave been found to be different for different molar ratios ofsodium to silicate. The current specifications treat them asbeing added together for a total ppm value.64.8 A variety of acids

24、and ionic chemical solutions areknown to induce metal pitting, hydrogen embrittlement, inter-granular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking on sensitizedaustenitic stainless steel. The results of Test Methods C 692corrosion test are expected to indicate if there is an untestedagent in the insulati
