β¦ Synopsis
influence of a temper embrittling heat treatment on the intergranular stress corrosion susceptibility of an Fe-3 wt.o/, Ni alloy containing minor additions of tin or phosphorus has been investigated. Microanalysis of the grain boundary regions has been carried out using a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) fitted with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Measured changes in stress corrosion cracking behaviour. resulting from embrittlement at 823 K, have been correlated with changes in the electrochemical properties of the grain boundary regions. Crack growth has been interpreted in terms of an anodic dissolution process. R&m&-On a etudit I'influence d'un traitement de revenu fragilisant sur la corrosion sous contraints d'un alliage Fe-3'5,Ni (en poids) contenant des additions mineures d'etain ou de phosphore.

Zusammenfassung-Der EinBuO einer verspriidenden Temperung auf die Anftilligkeit ftir Spannung-striDkorrosion entlang Korngrenzen wurde an Legierungen Fe-3Gew. -"/,Ni mit geringen Zugaben von Zinn oder Phosphor untersucht. Die Mikroanalyse der Korngrenzen wurde mit einem Abtast-Durchstrahlungselektronenmikroskop (STEM), ausgeriistet mit einem energiedispersiven RGntgenspektrometer. durchgefiihrt. Die gemessenen Anderungen im SpannungsriDverhalten. welche von der VersprBdung bei 823 K herriihren. wurden mit Anderungen im elektrochemischen Verhalten der Korngrenzgebiete korreliert. Das RiDwachstum wird anhand eines anodischen AuflGsungsprozesses gedeutet.

As a result of this exploratory study, it appears that increasing the ambient pressure on the test specimen may decrease its stres
The magnetic properties of ternary Fe-Cr-Ni alloys containing 17 wt% Ni and 18-24 wt% Cr have been studied over a range of temperatures from 4.2 -35 K by both ac and dc techniques in fields from 5 Am-1 \_ 6 MA m-1.

## Abstract Recent opinions on the effect of nonmetallic inclusions, especially sulfides, on the nucleation of pits, stress corrosion cracks, and hydrogenβinduced cracks are reviewed. The nonmetallic inclusions present in steels as impurities adversely affect the corrosion resistance of steels. Th
