Chloride induced Stress Corrosion Cracking in Oil

This book deals with the chloride induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) on austenitic stainless steel 304 based on pressure vessel. This book provides students researchers and metallurgy & corrosion engineers with various materials characterization evaluation methods used in a failure investigation as an important aspect of material science knowledge. The metallographic specimens preparations as per ASTM E 3 and microetching of metals as per ASTM E 407 guidelines. This book will create awareness and mitigate the problems caused by chloride induced stress corrosion cracking on stainless steel especially in oil and gas industry and encourage more researchers and scientists to work in this specialized field in the future.
