Abstract
The results from four research projects on ammonia stress corrosion cr acking (SCC) are provided, including the effect of oxygen and water in the ammonia, prevention of SCC with electrochemical methods, crack gr owth rate studies, and behavior of welds. Practical recommendations ar e given for construction, inspection, repair, commissioning, and opera tion of ammonia storage tanks.
