Stress Relaxation Cracking: The Silent Threat in High-Temperature Stainless Steel Systems
Stress Relaxation Cracking (SRC) remains one of the least understood, yet most costly damage mechanisms in high-temperature process industries. It is often misdiagnosed, overlooked during inspection, or confused with other forms of intergranular cracking. Recent work by Sequence Computational Engineering sheds light on the mechanisms driving SRC in austenitic stainless steels and how material behaviour under stress and temperature leads to long-term failure.
Weld Peaking in PSA Vessels: The Hidden Integrity Risk
It is important to understand the impact that longitudinal weld peaking has on the fatigue performance of pressure vessels that operates in cyclic service.
