Standard Method of Test for Plane-Strain Stress-Corrosion-Cracking Resistance of Metallic Materials
Abstract
The long-term integrity of marine structures depends heavily on the inherent resistance of the structural material to the initiation and propagation of cracks in the seawater environment. In military structures, applied loads are very complex and the design models and laboratory verification experiments are correspondingly complex; however the utility of materials for many applications is decided by the simple characterization of the stress-corrosion- cracking sensitivity in terms of the linear-elastic threshold stress intensity K sub(I sub scc). Because this parameter is important in selecting materials and designing marine structures, it is necessary to formulate a standard method of test to insure uniformity of test results. This report is concerned with the cantilever method for determining K sub(I sub scc) for metallic materials.
