This research guide summarizes experiments on stress corrosion cracking using an environmental chamber. Crack growth in load chain and compact tension specimens was measured using direct current potential drop testing to avoid temperature and corrosion issues. U-bend samples were also tested to examine the effects of residual stress rather than applied stress, showing surface stress corrosion cracking over 17 days. Graphs displayed results on varying stress corrosion cracking and pitting rates dependent on environmental and material factors, such as increased temperature and an upper threshold for pitting initiation.
