Chemical designation | X5CrNi18-10 |
State | Stress corrosion damage of a heat exchanger tube |
Etching | V2A-Beize @ 70 °C |
The classical standard austenites (V2A/V4A) can suffer SCC if tensile stresses are present and the choride content is sufficiently high. The intergranular cracks usually lead to complete component failure.
