28、012 (E) 1 Scope1.1 This part of ISO 7539 describes the general considerations that apply when designing and conducting tests to assess susceptibility of metals to stress corrosion.1.2 This part of ISO 7539 also gives some general guidance on the selection of test methods.NOTE 1 Particular methods of
29、 test are not treated in detail in this part of ISO 7539. These are described in the additional parts of ISO 7539.NOTE 2 This part of ISO 7539 is applicable to cathodic protection conditions.2 Terms and definitions2.1stress corrosionprocess involving conjoint corrosion and straining of the metal due
30、 to applied or residual stress2.2threshold stressstress corrosion stress above which stress corrosion cracks initiate and grow, for the specified test conditions2.3threshold stress intensity factorKISCCstress corrosion cracking stress intensity factor above which stress corrosion crack propagation i
31、s sustainedNote 1 to entry: The threshold stress intensity factor is a concept of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and is applicable when the plastic zone size is large compared with the microstructure and a high constraint to plastic deformation prevails; i.e. under plain strain-predominant
32、 conditions. For growing stress corrosion cracks, LEFM is not necessarily applicable in detail but is adopted as a pragmatic tool that is commonly used.Note 2 to entry: Stress corrosion cracks may initiate at a surface or a surface defect and grow in the “short crack” regime at stress levels below t
33、he apparent threshold stress intensity factor. However, LEFM is not applicable in the short crack regime and sustained propagation of these cracks requires that the threshold stress intensity factor be exceeded.2.4test environmenteither a service environment, or an environment produced in the labora
34、tory, to which the test specimen is exposed and which is maintained constant or varied in an agreed mannerNote 1 to entry: In the case of stress corrosion, the environment is often quite specific (see Clause 6).4DIN EN ISO 7539-1:2013-04EN ISO 7539-1:2012 (E) 2.5start of testtime when the stress is
35、applied or when the specimen is exposed to the test environment, whichever occurs later2.6crack initiation timeperiod from the start of a test to the time when a crack is detectable by the means employed2.7time to failureperiod elapsing between the start of a test and the occurrence of failure, the
36、criterion of failure being the first appearance of cracking or the total separation of the test piece, or some agreed intermediate condition2.8slow strain rate testtest for evaluating the susceptibility of a metal to stress corrosion cracking that most commonly involves pulling a tensile specimen to
37、 failure in a representative environment at a constant displacement rate, the displacement rate being chosen to generate nominal strain rates usually in the range 105s1to 108s1Note 1 to entry: Slow strain rate testing may also be applied to specimens in bend.2.9strain to failurestrain at which failu
38、re occurs in a slow strain rate test expressed usually as the plastic strain to failure See ISO 7539-7.2.10average crack velocitymaximum depth of crack(s) due to stress corrosion, divided by the test time2.11orientationdirection of applied tensile stress of a test specimen with respect to some speci
39、fied direction in the product from which it was prepared, e.g. the rolling direction in the plate3 Background3.1 Although it is generally agreed that cracking is the usual result of stress corrosion, other manifestations such as intergranular corrosion or elongated fissures, which are enhanced by th
40、e presence of stress, have also to be recognized.As far as this part of ISO 7539 is concerned, all phenomena involving metal dissolution or the action of hydrogen introduced into the metal as the result of simultaneous effects of a corrosive environment and a tensile stress are included, except for
41、embrittlement by liquid metal and exfoliation corrosion.3.2 There exists a wide diversity of methods used for assessing the stress corrosion properties of metals. Each has its own particular advantage in certain situations.3.3 Stress corrosion cracking depends on both the exposure conditions and the
42、 mechanical and microstructural characteristics of the material and susceptibility or resistance to stress corrosion can only be defined in that context. Thus, for example, there is no intrinsic threshold stress intensity factor for a material.3.4 Ideally, in order to establish the risk of stress co
43、rrosion in a given application, it is necessary to carry out simulation testing under all likely service exposure conditions. In practice, this is difficult, if not impossible, and rarely achieved, but a number of “standard tests” have been found as a result of experience to provide reasonable guida
44、nce on likely service behaviour for given specific applications. However, these laboratory “standard tests” are only appropriate to service conditions where experience 5DIN EN ISO 7539-1:2013-04 EN ISO 7539-1:2012 (E) has shown an appropriate relationship, however empirical, to exist. The fact that
45、a given alloy passes or does not pass a test previously found useful in relation to another alloy may or may not be significant and a test that discriminates correctly between alloys used for a given application will not necessarily provide safe guidance if the exposure conditions are different. The
46、 use of a standard test beyond the point for which there is experience therefore requires validation.3.5 In the following clauses, attention is drawn particularly to the fact that the stress corrosion process can be extremely sensitive to small changes in exposure or test conditions. The user of mat
47、erials is responsible for selecting the conditions under which stress corrosion tests are performed and the fact that some tests are described in this part of ISO 7539 does not imply that these tests are the most appropriate ones for any given situation. The justification for describing these tests
48、in a standard is that they are in widespread use and have been proven as valid for specific or common equipment-environment systems. However, the responsibility for interpretation of the test results remains with the user of materials and it is in no way diminished by the existence of this standard.
49、3.6 In addition to specific parts of ISO 7539 to cover the most widely used methods, it is considered that this more general document, concerned with the selection of test details and the interpretation of results, is required.4 Selection of test method4.1 Before embarking on a programme of stress corrosion testing, a decision has to be made regarding which type of test is appropriate. Such a decision depends largely upon the purpose of
