Alloys with nickel content above _________ are highly resistant to Cl SCC. The greatest susceptibility is 8% to 12% nickel.
Alloys with nickel content above _________ are highly resistant to Cl SCC. The greatest susceptibility is 8% to 12% nickel.
Alloys with nickel content above 35% are highly resistant to Cl SCC (chloride stress corrosion cracking). The greatest susceptibility is in alloys with 8% to 12% nickel content, making 35% the threshold above which alloys become highly resistant.
Nickel content of the alloy has a major effect on resistance. The greatest susceptibility occurs in stainless steels with a nickel content of 8 % to 12 %. Alloys with nickel contents - 8% to 12% are the most susceptible - above 35 % are highly resistant, and - above 45 % are nearly immune in refining applications, but cracking can still occur in severe conditions.
