Metals and alloys are often used for their strength, toughness and corrosion resistance, for applications from domestic plumbing and pipework though to industrial processing equipment. However, when certain chemicals get in contact with susceptible metals they can result in aggressive degradation mechanisms, such as pitting and stress corrosion cracking.
In this presentation, Forensic Metallurgist Dr Philippa Moore looks at three common alloys (carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass) as well as common chemicals that can cause them to crack and prematurely fail, such as those that you might have sitting under your kitchen sink.
