Abstract
Polarization, potential time, current decay, constant potential cracking, and metallographic studies were conducted. Alloys of very substantial improvement in resistance to cracking were found. The most effective alloy additions were found to be aluminum, beryllium, and carbon. Lowering chromium to the 10 to 15% range was also found to be very effective in preventing cracking. The results are discussed in terms of the slip-step dissolution model of stress corrosion cracking.
