Stiffness and X-ray measurements supported results obtained from SEM photomicrographs indicating that the CT specimens loaded to a stress intensity of 22 ksi-in^.5 were not susceptible to SCC in this environment. These alloys were also evaluated for their SCC resistance in boiling MgCl₂ and NaCl solutions. Results of this study indicated that alloys containing higher nickel contents were more resistant to chloride SCC.ix, 123 leavesapplication/pdfen-USIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1989.I675Alloys -- TestingStress corrosion -- ResearchCorrosion resistant alloys -- ResearchThesis
