caustic embrittlement
caustic embrittlement (′kö·stik im′brid·əl·mənt) (metallurgy) Intercrystalline cracking of steel caused by exposure to caustic solutions above 70°C while under tensile stress; once common in riveted boilers. Also known as caustic cracking.
There is caustic stress corrosion cracking when carbon steel is exposed to concentrated caustic solution. Caustic SCC is driven by tensile stress, susceptible material and concentration of caustic. So, lack of PWHT will increase susceptibility also hardness and residual stress that is the more significant factor in caustic corrosion. Thanks and Regards Abdul Khaleem Abdul Razak
Caustic embrittlement is a phenomenon that occurs in metals, particularly in boiler systems, when they are exposed to alkaline conditions, typically due to the presence of sodium hydroxide or other caustic agents. This exposure leads to the formation of brittle microstructures, making the metal susceptible to cracking and failure. It is most commonly observed in carbon steels and can significantly compromise the structural integrity of equipment. To prevent caustic embrittlement, proper water chemistry control and material selection are essential.
There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
