Three candidate materials for construction of buffer tanks for
district heating water have been tested for corrosion fatigue
properties in a district heating water environment. The
investigation included Slow Strain Rate Testing of plain tensile
specimens, crack initiation testing by corrosion fatigue of plain
tensile specimens and crack growth rate determination for Compact
Tensile Specimens under corrosion fatigue conditions. The three
materials are equal with respect to stress corrosion sensibility
and crack initiation. Crack growth rate is increased with a factor
of 4-6 relative to an inert environment at same temperature (90C)
with a tendency of higher crack growth rate for the steel with the
highest strength.
