Abstract

The fatigue behavior of a ferrite-bainite weathering steel was studied in the laboratory environment and the NaCl solution. Transmission Kikuchi diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy were utilized to understand the underlying mechanisms of stress corrosion cracking. Cracking boundaries between ferrite and bainite structures caused by the accumulated strain gradient dominated the crack initiation in the laboratory environment. While corrosion pits beneath the rust layer were active in generating the incipient corrosion crack. Localized heteroplastic deformation at the crack tip promoted the anodic dissolution at the high strained lattice domains with misorientated crystal features, therefore accelerating the corrosion crack extension.
