Abstract
A theoretically rigorous derivation of lifetime determination for stress corrosion cracking is presented. It is shown that under certain conditions the crack velocity relation, obtained from fracture kinetics analysis of thermally activated processes, may be integrated directly and represented in the temperature — time — crack driving force coordinate system. The step-by-step construction of a simplified three-dimensional diagram is shown for the three regions of SCC. The expected shape of the surface is developed in detail for Region I. It is pointed out that for design, test, and reliability engineering purposes the conversion of a mathematical expression into a three-dimensional diagram is greatly advantageous.
