Abslraet-A model is proposed to account for interactions between fatigue and stress corrosion crack propagation mechanisms in appropriate corrosion fatigue conditions. Tests on an alloy steel, and both wrought and cast aluminium alloys, are reported. Despite the use of very simple coefficients in th

✦ Synopsis
We analyze pictures of experimental stress corrosion cracks in metals after digitalization and filtering and find that although they come from very different sources their fractal dimension is rather well defined to be ti, = 1.38 ? 0.05.

Processes involved in the growth of short cracks and stage I of long stress corrosion cracks have been identified and evaluated. There is evidence that electrochemical effects can cause short stress corrosion cracks to grow at rates which are either faster or slower than those of long cracks. Short
An approach by fractal geometry was examined for the SCC problem on a Ni-C~Mo steel. Stress corrosion tests were conducted in 3.5% NaCI solution by using SNCM439 steel specimens. These specimens had different prior-austenite grain sizes due to variations in heat treatment. After summarizing the re
