Critical Potentials for Stress Corrosion Cracking of 63‐37 Brass in Ammoniacal and Tartrate Solutions

Abstract

TWO NEW SILVER ELECTROLYTES 3439 The cell surface is 1.16 crn~.prototypes and, therefore, their performances may certainly be improved by optimization of the cell's geometry. This was of course beyond the scope of this work which was carried out primarily to examine the electrochemical properties of the intermediate, highly conductive compounds in the systems AgI-Ag~AsO4 and AgI-Ag~VO4.

Mechanistic and fractographic aspects of stress-corrosion cracking (SCC)

“…He also mentioned the likelihood that surface bonding in the absence of wetting would be stronger than that in the bulk. Uhlig became an advocate of adsorption mechanisms for SCC in the late 1950s and 1960s [68][69][70][71], proposing that chemisorption of specifi c ions, e.g. complex Cu-NH 3 ions for SCC of a-brass, weakened the strained interatomic bonds at crack tips, thereby promoting crack growth by decohesion along a cleavage plane or a grain boundary ( Fig.…”
