Mechanisms of Corrosion Fatigue. The generalized corrosion fatigue cracking mechanism involves the single or mutual occurrence of hydrogen-induced cracking or anodic dissolution at the crack tip. Hydrogen embrittlement(hydrogen-induced cracking or hydrogen-assisted cracking) can be divided into five types of mechanisms : 1) decohesion 2) pressure 3) adsorption 4) deformation 5) brittle hydride …

CONT

Le retour d’expérience français et étranger des trente dernières années a montré l’apparition de très nombreuses fissures sur les composants en Alliage 600 et le problème constitue toujours la première cause de bouchage des tubes de GV [générateurs de vapeur]. Divers processus sont actuellement proposés pour rendre compte de ce mode d’endommagement. On peut brièvement citer les familles de modèles proposés […] — dissolution localisée par rupture de film […] — fissuration assistée par l’hydrogène : effet de pression interne […] clivage induit par le film […]
