The best tools for weighing the various aspects are quantitative expressions of properties and performance data valid under various conditions, such as corrosion rate and distribution, lifetime in eorrosion fatigue, mechanical or electrochemical threshold values (Kiscc, Kthi Ep etc.), compared with corresponding quantified requirements or service conditions, i.e. specified lifetime, actual stress intensity factors and functions, and corrosion potential.

SCG rate is dependent on the stress intensity factor Kf. The typical behavior is shown in Figure 9.1.6. SCG is found to start above a certain threshold value of Ki called fatigue limit , and reaches a certain level of crack growth rate which increases as a function of Ki described by the following equation ... 

Part (b) of the Figure 11.48 shows the superposition of the behaviors of mechanical fatigue and stress corrosion cracking. In general, the influence of the latter shows up mostly at low strain rates (d /dy = 10 - 10 s ). In the graph that represents Aa/AN as a function of log K, a step appears at the point where the stress intensity factor that corresponds to the maximum value of the applied cyclic stress, reaches the value iscc. the threshold stress intensity for stress corrosion cracking.

This test method can be used to measure the relative susceptibility of materials by "Determining the Threshold Stress Intensity Factor for Environment-Assisted Cracking EAC of Metallic Materials. Constant load specimens, both the fatigue precracked single edge beam SE(B) and precracked compact specimens are tested in bending. The SE(B) was originally referred to as the Cantilever Beam Test.
