Stress corrosion cracking is a devastating failure mechanism in critical structural components such as the reinforcing steel in concrete formations. We’re looking into the SCC behavior of various new alloys.
Stress corrosion cracking of new 2001 lean–duplex stainless steel reinforcements in chloride contained concrete pore solution: An electrochemical study An experimental SCC tests has been performed on 2001 lean–duplex stainless steel (LDSS) and 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) reinforcements. Specimens were tested by loads up to 85% of their yield strength and simultaneously exposed to 8% chloride in simulated concrete pore solution….

STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF STAINLESS STEEL IN CONCRETE
Within the commissioning of reinforcements in concrete structures, it is essential to evaluate them against corrosion in aggressive environments. And in the presence of loads, to ensure their useful life in service, and to minimize failures in service. The objective of the study to be developed will be to evaluate the effect of the application of tensions close to elastic limit in stainless steel specimens corrugated in aggressive medium (chlorides and carbonation), in order to evaluate the performance under stress corrosion cracking of new stainless steel rebars used in reinforced concrete structures.
