Extract

The residual stress left on the fracture surface is one of the important parameters in X-ray fractography and has been used to analyze fracture mechanisms in fracture toughness and fatigue tests especially of high strength steels.

In the present paper, the distribution of residual stress beneath the fracture surface made by stress corrosion cracking was measured by the X-ray diffraction method. Stress corrosion cracking tests were conducted by using compact tension specimens of 200°C tempered AISI steel in 3.5% NaCl solution environment under various electrode potentials. The effect of electrode potential on the growth kinetics of stress corrosion cracking is discussed on the basis of residual stress distribution.
