Cl-SCC Inter or Trangular?
Cl-SCC Inter or Trangular?
(OP)
API 571 describes Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking as being Interganular whereas most sources indicate it is Transgranular.
Which is true or do both types occur in real life?

RE: Cl-SCC Inter or Trangular?
It shows that both types can occur in real life with factors such as microstructure, stress and corrodent serving to drive whether initiation is from pitting or from intergranular corrosion and whether cracking propagates through a transgranular, intergranular, or even a mixed mode.
