Dear Sir: I am a metallurgical engineer who is currently working on a project wherein 304SS and 316L pipes are used for CaCl service at –20ºC and below. I have already read a lot of literature about Chloride SCC but I have never came across with one dealing with Chloride SCC at these temperatures. I just would like to know if it is possible for SCC to occur in these conditions. Your help would be very much appreciated.

Most of corrosion mecanism are oxydoreductions. Such phenomena are linked with thermodynamic science. In this way there is thermal activation. On your working temperature, all should be OK. It is what is said about atmospheric ammonia storage tank. Ammonia is know for SCC under severe conditions. Moreover at -20°C I hope molecules are not expected to broke, so you should not have any problem. But I coud be wrong, cause I do not know much about your fluid. pascal GRANIER
