On the Stress Corrosion Cracking and Hydrogen Embrittlement Behavior of Austenitic Stainless Steels in Boiling Saturated Magnesium Chloride Solutions

Figure 8

Schematic representation of time dependence of the net local stress ( ) during the film rupture-formation events at various hydrogen permeation currents under a constant applied stress condition, where is the threshold stress below which no HE takes place and is the critical fracture stress at or above which the failure of -martensite occurs.
