Краткое описание
Those in the fields of corrosion engineering and metallurgy willfind that this publication offers and introduction for thoseunfamiliar to the slow strain-rate technique (SSRT) for stresscorrosion cracking (SCC) in metals and relevant information theapplication of the technique for specific alloys of chemicalenvironments. For those familiar with the technique, a data base isprovided so that the results of the slow strain-rate tests can becompared with results from other SCC tests, such as constant loadtests and constant strain tests. It is organized to address fromseveral vantage points the use of the slow strain-rate technique. Aseries of papers concerns the SCC process and the relationship ofthe SSRT to relevant phenomena. Interpretation of results is theprimary topic of several papers. Other papers discuss theapplication of the SSRT to specific alloys or environments. Inaddition, several papers focus on equipment and procedures usingtests.
