Abstract:
      Objective To study stress corrosion of butt welding tensile specimen of 7A52 aluminum alloy and 25CrMnSiA steel in marine atmosphere environment. Methods Constant load stress corrosion test device, which was designed and manufactured by ourselves, was adopted to study stress corrosion of 7A52 aluminum alloy butt welding tensile specimen and 25CrMnSiA steel butt welding tensile specimen in marine atmosphere environment. Specimen with cracking or without cracking in the test were analyzed from corrosion morphology, fracture surface morphology, microstructure, microhardness distribution, etc. Results 7A52 aluminum weldments fractured in the weld where Cl- concentrated in second phase particles that contain calcium and/or sulfur promoted stress corrosion cracking of 7A52 aluminum weldments. 25CrMnSiA weldments fractured in the base metal in the marine atmosphere corrosion test, while it was fractured in the weld in the laboratory tensile test. Conclusion Both kinds of weldments have stress corrosion cracking in Hainan marine atmosphere, crack initiated and propagated in the seaward surface which called “wind embrittlement”.
