Abstract

The procedure of stress-corrosion cracking testing of stainless steel and alloy tubular billets and pipes was developed and tested at JSC “Sentravis” according to the foreign and domestic standards. The optimum types of test samples depending on steel class, grade and pipe size as well as assessment criteria of their corrosion resistance are recommended.
