The crack growth resistance behaviour of aluminium alloy 2024-T3 at slow strain rates after exposure to standard corrosive environments

Pretorius, Christiaan C.E.; Mostert, Roelf Johannes; Ramjee, Shatish (Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2021-04)

The study investigates the effect of prior corrosive exposure on crack growth resistance behaviour of thin sheet (3 mm thick) aluminium alloy 2024-T3 at slow strain rates. Compact tension specimens were exposed to standard ...
Effect of solution aggressiveness on the crack growth resistance and cracking mechanism of AA2024-T3

Charalampidou, Christina Margarita; Pretorius, Christiaan C.E.; Mostert, Roelf Johannes; Alexopoulos, Nikolaos D. (NACE International, 2021-09)

Aluminum alloy 2024-T3 was examined using a range of microscopy techniques at the early stages of corrosion attack to investigate the corrosion-induced cracking mechanism. Two different corrosive environments—exfoliation ...
Microstructural influences on the damage evolution and kinetics of high temperature hydrogen attack in a C-0.5 Mo welded joint

Pretorius, Christiaan C.E.; Mostert, Roelf Johannes; Mukarati, Tulani W.; Mathoho, Vhutshilo M. (Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns, 2021)

In the refining industry, steels can be susceptible to a damage mechanism known as high temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA). The detection of damage in such structures through non-destructive testing (NDT) requires insight ...
