This study investigates the influence of crystallography on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (TGCISCC) in arc welded 304L austenitic stainless steel. The crack propagation can be explained by mechanical arguments, and the competition between mechanical, crystallographic, and corrosion factors is discussed in relation to crack behavior at grain boundaries.
The effect of crystallography on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (TGCISCC) of arc welded 304L austenitic stainless steel is studied on >300 grains along crack paths. Schmid and Taylor factor mismatches across grain boundaries (GBs) reveal that cracks propagate either from a hard to soft grain, which can be explained merely by mechanical arguments, or soft to hard grain. In the latter case, finite element analysis reveals that TGCISCC will arrest at GBs without sufficient mechanical stress, favorable crystallographic orientations, or crack tip corrosion. GB type does not play a significant role in determining TGCISCC cracking behavior nor susceptibility. TGCISCC crack behaviors at GBs are discussed in the context of the competition between mechanical, crystallographic, and corrosion factors.
