Abstract

The effects of overload on the threshold stress intensity factor (KISCC) for stress corrosion cracks (SCC) in stainless steel were studied. Tensile overload was applied to a wedge opening loaded specimen of SUS316, and SCC tests were carried out to determine the resultant KISCC. As a result, the value of KISCC was found to increase with increasing stress intensity factor by tensile overload. The effects of tensile overload on KISCC and the threshold stress intensity factor range for fatigue (ΔKth) were compared. It was found that the effect of tensile overload on KISCC was larger than that of ΔKth.
