The influence of strain rate (from 4×10^(-5) /sec to 6×10^(-8)/sec) and metallurgical factors on the stress corrosion cracking susceptibilities of AISI304 stainless steel in boiling MgCl₂ solution was investigated using slow strain rate tensile testing technique.
TGSCC was predominant when the specimens were tested at low strain rate, high temperature and sensitized condition, while IGSCC was predominant at high strain rate, low temperature and solution annealed condition. The number of propagating cracks at the surface of specimen were increased with the increase of strain rate, resulting the increase of fracture strain with the increase of tensile testing strain rate.
