Fractography of Stainless Steels
-
Published:2024
Abstract
Stainless steel alloys have many unique failure mechanisms, including environmentally assisted cracking, cracking associated with welding, and secondary phase embrittlement. This article describes these failure mechanisms and the fracture modes associated with the different categories of stainless steel. These mechanisms and modes are grouped together because of their similarities across the categories.
