Ammonia Stress Corrosion Cracking Weld hardness should not exceed 225 BHN.
Hydrogen Embrittlement (HE) if the weld heat-affected zone hardness exceeds 235 BHN.
In SCC low strength carbon steel hardness below 200BHN
Mechanical Fatigue clam shell, beach marks, “waves” of crack stress concentrations due to changes in radii and key ways.
heat-affected zones is called eyebrow graphitization.
Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking (Cl-SCC) The pattern of cracking observed on the steel surface spider web of small cracks
Wet H2S Damage (Blistering/HIC/SOHIC/SSC) stair step appearance
Stress Corrosion Cracking have many branches and may be visually detectable by a craze-cracked appearance of the surface
PASCC not susceptible 300 Series SS susceptible CS, 400 Series SS
