Extract

X-ray diffraction observation of the material beneath the fracture surface provides failure analysists with useful information to judge the mechanical condition of fracture.

In the present paper, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) tests were conducted by using the bluntly notched compact tension (CT) specimens of 200°C tempered AISI 4340 steel in a 3.5 NaCl solution etwixonmeat. The distribution of the residual stress beneath the fracture surface near the root of the notch was measured with the X-ray diffraction technique. The effect of the notch root radius on crack nucleation with stress corrosion was discussed on the bases of the results of X-ray observation.
