Degradation of an AISI 304 stainless-steel tank

Abstract

Some austenitic stainless steels are sensitive to the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) that appears only localized and with the specific combination of a relatively high internal tensile stress and the presence of corrosion media with chloride ions. The presented results are from an investigation of the leakage from a tank containing medical disinfection liquids. Due to a crevice below the insulation and the presence of condensed moisture, the corrosion pits started to grow on the surface of the tank. These crevice corrosion pits led to the appearance of SCC, which was responsible for the leakage from the AISI 304 stainless-steel tank.
