| Abstract: | Investigations into stress corrosion of high strength rope wires in condensating water In stress corrosion tests uncoated, galvanized and aluminized rope wires were submitted to the influence of periodically condensating water. Real concentrations of atmospheric contaminants as chlorides, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide were added, too. Fractures only were caused under conditions of crevice corrosion as in covered zones. The added contaminants and contact elements, too, did not especially influence fractures. Under the fixed test conditions the life time of the galvanized wires was reduced in relation to the uncoated and aluminized wires. |
