Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) and transgranular stress corrosion cracking (TGSCC) of Type316L stainless steel are examined by a slow strain rate test (SSRT) in a dilute sodium sulphate solution at 288 °C. Crystallographical orientation measurements on Type316L are performed by elec...
