Abstract:
This study aims to investigate and explain the magnetite-accelerated stress corrosion cracking phenomenon of Alloy 600 under caustic conditions, based on the electrochemical behavior. After the SCC test that lasted for 300 h, no cracks were observed in any of the magnetite-free specimens, whereas cracks with a depth of 150 to 280 μm were generated in all the magnetite-deposited specimens. Furthermore, the electrochemical behavior of magnetite and Alloy 600 demonstrated that Alloy 600 behaved as an anode in the coupling system with magnetite. In this coupling system, the electrochemical potential of Alloy 600 can be shifted into the range potentially susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.

Types of Non-structural Cracks in Concrete
Plastic shrinkage cracks typically form within hours after the concrete is poured. The concrete's surface dries faster than the bottom, creating tensile stress that the still-plastic concrete cannot withstand, leading to diagonal or randomly patterned cracks on the concrete surface.
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
