What is Stress Corrosion Cracking of Stainless Steel Bellows of Satellite Launch Vehicle Propellant Tank Assembly about?
Bellows made of austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304 grade) are being used as a conduit for liquid fuel and oxidizer in the propellant tank of a satellite launch vehicle. A few bellows were found leaky during re-pressure tests after 6 years of storage. A number of cracks were found originating from weld fusion lines. One of the leaking bellows was subjected to detailed metallurgical and chemical analysis. The synergistic effect of chloride ions and thermal stresses from welding was identified as the cause-a typical example of stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
