• Abstract:
  Main aim of this project was to evaluate alternate standard test methods for stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and compare them with the results from slow strain rate test (SSRT) results under equivalent environmental conditions. Other important aim of this project was to develop an phenomenological understanding of SCC of pipeline steels in fuel grade ethanol (FGE) and FGE/gasoline blends. To achieve these objectives, tests were going on in all fours task areas of this project in the last quarter (July to Sept. 2011), when the project was terminated. Next sections describe the technical work done on these tasks. This report describes the technical work done on different tasks along with the summary of final status of these tasks in terms of key results.
