What is the predominant factor in mechanical fatigue cracking
Surface Notches
Low energy on a notch toughness test indicates
that the material is brittle
300 Series Stainless Steel is mostly susceptible to
Chloride SCC
Chloride SCC appears
Branched cracking, transgranular cracking
CMLs Consider potential for
Local Corrosion + Service specific damage
Before any repairs are performed, all proposed methods of design, execution, materials, welding
procedures, NDE, and testing shall be approved by
inspector or engineer
For alterations, major repairs, and
temporary repairs, approval by
