Corrosion Fatigue of Metals: A Survey of Recent Advances and Issues

Mechanisms of corrosion fatigue crack formation and advance, based on interactions between localized cyclic deformation and chemical reaction, were not emphasized during the 1981 NATO Research Workshop on The Chemistry and Physics of Fracture (1,2). The monotonic problems of stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement were considered in detail, with the state of the art summarized by Professor Argon: “All this gives a rich picture and useful information for engineering application, but falls short of providing definitive understanding. Nevertheless, a picture emerges that indicates that the phenomenon is broad and encompasses several mechanisms.” (3).
