Here, the chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) mechanism of cold spray (CS) coating on a galvanically similar substrate is investigated. Arc welded 304L stainless steel (SS) specimens are loaded into four-point bend fixtures, cold sprayed with 304L SS, then immersed in boiling MgCl 2 . Interconnected porosity forms through crevice corrosion along CS splat boundaries, allowing corrosive species to penetrate through the CS layer. Nevertheless, the substrate is resistant to CISCC likely because of compressive stress introduced by peening during CS particle impacts. These findings underscore the importance of residual stress in the environmental degradation of CS coatings or repairs of engineering structures.

Crystallographic effects on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion crack propagation of arc welded austenitic stainless steel

Abstract The effect of crystallography on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (TGCISCC) of arc welded 304L austenitic stainless steel is studied on >300 grains along crack paths. Schmid and Taylor factor mismatches across grain boundaries (GBs) reveal that cracks propagate either from a hard to soft grain, which can be explained merely by mechanical arguments, or soft to hard grain. In the latter case, finite element analysis reveals that TGCISCC will arrest at GBs without sufficient mechanical stress, favorable crystallographic orientations, or crack tip corrosion. GB type does not play a significant role in determining TGCISCC cracking behavior nor susceptibility. TGCISCC crack behaviors at GBs are discussed in the context of the competition between mechanical, crystallographic, and corrosion factors.
