Abstract
Susceptibility of ThyssenKrupp VDM nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys to corrosion cracking was evaluated. Samples with annular welds made by the argon-arc method using filler wire of the AWS A.5.14ERNiCrMo-13 grade were tested in the titania production environment. It is shown that reliable data can be generated from testing experimental models or stressed welded samples with an annular weld simulating residual stresses in a structure
Keywords: nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys, welded joints, titania, general corrosion, corrosion cracking, structural materials, metallography, annular test sample, knife-line corrosion, pitting fracture
