Local electrochemistry and scanning probe microscopy techniques to clarify intergranular cracking phenomena in weldable martensitic stainless steels

Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) of weldable martensitic stainless steels (WMSS) has been a major concern in the oil and gas industry. It occurs under sweet and mildly sour wet service conditions and in the presence of hot chlorides. The cracking phenomenon is assumed to be due to the...
