Fig. 5: Microstructure-sensitive modeling of pitting corrosion.

From: Development of a numerical model for simulating stress corrosion cracking in spent nuclear fuel canisters

Fig. 5

a shows a random location in the microstructure (from EBSD mapping) for pit growth and b shows its associated boundary value problem within the electrolyte domain. c Comparison of grown pits at 100s at four locations in the microstructure for 5 pct. and 10 pct. maximum variations in potential with respect to the crystallographic orientation. c is metal ion concentration79.
