Abstract
The process of stress corrosion cracking was studied in a range of six commercial hardwood species and four standard types of sawblade steel. The combined effects of corrosion and wear of these steels produced an average loss of material of 5 g/m2/h in weight and 0.001 mm/h in thickness. The interaction between timber species and types of steel was significant at the 0.1% probability level. Timbers and steels were ranked by Duncan's multiple-range test according to their corrosion properties, which differed at the 5% probability level. Such a classification of sawblade steels and timbers has an immediate, practical use.
