Previous work has shown that Type 430 stainless steel and the modification containing 1 percent molybdenum are not subject to stress-corrosion cracking in boiling magnesium chloride (MgCl2). These steels are also immune to stress-corrosion cracking in boiling solutions of calcium nitrate or sodium hydroxide.1  However, iron-nickel alloys containing about 5 percent nickel are subject to stress-corrosion cracking in boiling MgCl2.2  In general, austenitic stainless steels free of nickel are immune to stress-corrosion cracking in MgCl2.3
