Among the metals affected by this type of corrosion are stainless steel, certain magnesium alloys, and the copper-bearing aluminum alloys. Intergranular corrosion occurs in certain grades of stainless steel when the steel is heated, as in welding. Brittleness results, causing the metal to crack near the weld. For this reason, a post-weld heat treatment is needed before reinstalling stainless steel parts that have been welded.
Rust is one of the most common causes of bridge accidents. As rust has a much higher volume than the originating mass of iron, its build-up can also cause failure by forcing apart adjacent parts. It was the cause of the collapse of the Mianus river bridge in 1983, when the bearings rusted internally and pushed one corner of the road slab off its support.
