Abstract With the extensive exploitation of ocean resources, the steels used in ocean engineering have been developed towards the trend of high strength-toughness and thick plates, which consequently causes welding problem and high risk of stress corrosion cracking (SCC). The heat-affected zone (HAZ) of high-strength low-alloy steel undergoes phase transformation during welding thermal cycle and it's generally considered to be most vulnerable to SCC. E690 steel, as a newly-developed high strength steel, is currently the leading kind of steel used in ocean platform for its excellent performance. However, there is few research about its SCC behavior in marine atmosphere, especially in SO2-polluted atmosphere. Therefore, it's of great importance to investigate the SCC behavior and mechanism of simulated HAZ of E690 steel in this environment. However, the HAZ is a narrow zone including various microstructures; thus, the individual performance of different microstructures is inconvenient to study. In this work, various microstructures in HAZ, including coarse grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ), fine grained heat-affected zone (FGHAZ) and intercritical heat-affected zone (ICHAZ), were simulated by heat treatment according to real HAZ microstructures of E690 steel. A comparative study of SCC behaviors of various HAZ microstructures in simulated SO2-containing marine atmosphere was conducted by using U-bend specimen corrosion test under dry/wet cyclic condition. The results indicated that various HAZ microstructures have high susceptibility to SCC in this environment. The SCC susceptibility of CGHAZ and ICHAZ is very high with a high crack growth rate while that of FGHAZ and parent metal is relatively modest. SCC cracks were initiated after 5 d of cyclic corrosion test for U-bend specimen of various microstructures. The microcracks were initiated from the corrosion pits, which were induced by the galvanic corrosion between martensite-austenite (M-A) constituents and ferritic matrix.
