Abstract

To assist in understanding corrosion fatigue and stress corrosion crack growth in aqueous environments, in situ fracture techniques have been developed to study the transient reactions with bare steel surfaces. The techniques utilize the conventional three‐electrode half‐cell configuration, as well as two‐electrode and four‐electrode analogues of the local electrochemical cell at the crack tip. The measurement techniques and some initial test results are described and are discussed in relation to corrosion fatigue crack growth response in steels.
