Abstract
The results of this preliminary correlation demonstrate the relationship between electrochemical reactions with bare metal surfaces and CF crack growth for steels in aqueous environments, and is very encouraging. These findings provide further support for the hypothesis of surface/electrochemical react control, and indicate the effectiveness of the in-situ fracture technique in providing unambiguous measurements of bare-surface reaction kinetics. For quantitative modeling, efforts will be needed to provide measurements of current and charge densities, and to address the issue of actual surface areas of cracks. Additional research is in progress and will be reported.
