This work analysed the effect of chloride deposition on the susceptibility to atmospherically induced stress corrosion cracking (AISCC) of stainless steel type AISI 316L used to manufacture containers for radioactive intermediate level waste in the UK. Using U-bend specimens contaminated with MgCl 2 , a threshold deposition for AISCC occurrence has been found above chloride contamination levels of 10 and 25 mg cm 22 at 50 and 30uC respectively at the equilibrium relative humidity (RH) of the contaminant salt (,30%RH). Higher contamination levels were required to produce cracking at 60%RH. Based on crack depth data and contaminated area characterisation, it was found that susceptibility to AISCC is affected by the liquid film volume, thickness and continuity.

“…These conditions are fixed considering the most severe condition for SCC in these situations according to literature. 2 The contaminating solutions were three. The first one (solution 1) is artificial sea water (obtained according ASTM D1141), with a total chlorides concentration 0?56M, the second one (solution 2) is the same as solution 1, but with double concentration of MgCl 2 .…”

This work studies the particular mechanism of environmental stress corrosion cracking (SCC) that has been described to interest stainless steel products, like climbing anchors, installed in sea areas. The failure analysis of several broken anchors was carried out. The samples were collected in different parts of the world, always from climbing structures close to the sea. The analysis confirmed the stress corrosion mechanism of degradation, giving also important information about the specific environments causing the metal fracture. These results are in agreement with a few previous works about this subject and are in the frame of the larger topic of SCC of austenitic stainless steel at room temperature. Moreover, some corrosion tests were carried out on stainless steel samples simulating the operation conditions, after contamination with electrolytes at different concentration. The tests are performed in order to better understand the degradation mechanism and to evaluate the influence of some environmental parameters over the susceptibility to SCC. With these experimental data, a possible interpretation model has been proposed together with some reasonable solutions for the material selection process, considering the problem's characteristics and the multiple alternatives available nowadays for climbing materials.
