A scanning electron microscope photo of a failed 410 stainless steel fastener shows the gaping grain boundaries associated with hydrogen-assisted stress-corrosion cracking.
It addresses hydrogen-induced cracking of steel weldments, sensitization and subsequent intergranular corrosion of stainless steel weldments, sulfide stress cracking of pipeline steel weldments, microbiologically induced corrosion of weldments, and stress-corrosion cracking of weldments.
The effective drying also eliminates the risk of stress-corrosion cracking whilst in storage/transportation due to trapped moisture.
