Mesoscale mechanical model for intergranular stress corrosion cracking and implications for microstructure engineering

The resistance of polycrystalline materials to intergranular cracking can be influenced by the microstructure. In sensitized stainless steels, for example, the grain boundaries prone to sensitization form paths of low resistance for intergranular stress corrosion cracking. The nonsensitized grain bo...
