Abstract

During operation many metal structures are under conditions of combined impact of aggressive media (natural and/or technological) and mechanical loads. At the same time, the damage caused by the combined effect of corrosion and stress is often more significant than with simple "superimposing" of damage caused by mechanical load and influence of aggressive medium acting separately. When carrying out destructive tensile tests of equipment materials, there is a possibility of inaccuracy of results for determination of mechanical characteristics of this material due to actual operation of the material under conditions of aggressive environment. This, in turn, can lead to an erroneous calculation of the strength and life of the equipment. In this regard, it is particularly relevant to study the behavior of materials under the influence of various mechanical loads in aggressive media, as well as to determine the limit state of the metal based on the results of measurement of its electrode potential.
