Three nickel-base austenitic alloys, namely Alloy C-22, Alloy C-276 and Waspaloy have been tested for evaluation of their corrosion resistance in an acidic solution at ambient and elevated temperatures. The results of stress corrosion cracking studies indicate that none of these materials did exhibit any failure at constant load. The cracking susceptibility determined by the slow strain rate technique was gradually enhanced at higher temperatures showing reduced ductility and true failure stress. The critical potentials determined by the polarization technique, became more active (negative) with increasing temperature. The fractograpic evaluations by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed ductile failure in Alloys C-22 and C-276. However, Waspaloy showed brittle failure at elevated temperature.
