Abstract Stress corrosion cracking (SCO in selected depleted uranium alloys in salt ladened moist air environments has been studied by cantilever beam testing. Crack growth kinetics were monitored during the test using a computer data acquisition system. Continuous measurements of crack growth with time showed discontinuous crack growth with increasing KI. Threshold stress intensity values for stress corrosion cracking KISCC, were found to be 24.4 MPa - m½ and 15.6 MPa - m½ for U-3/4 Ti and DU-3/4 Quintalloys, respectively. Values for U-2 Mo in two heat treated conditions were slightly less than the U-3/4 Ti threshold. Data is presented in a “safe zone” plot of flaw size vs applied stress. Fractographic investigation by scanning electron microscopy revealed mixed fracture modes with both transgranular and intergranular fracture occurring.

The double cantilever beam has been widely used in the past and has proved one of the most popular designs for measuring the growth rate of stress corrosion cracks in materials. In this study, the double cantilever beam specimens were used to study the effect of tensile loading on stress corrosion cracking behaviour in aluminium alloy 7075(W). Cracks initiated readily in 3.5%NaCl solution with tensile loading conditions. Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) development was found to follow an intergranular path, which strongly depended on microstructure of material. Tests also were carried out to measure the threshold stress intensity, KISCC, which SCC would not occur. The SCC test was explained by an active path mechanism due to the galvanic interaction between grain boundary precipitates and adjacent precipitate-free zones. Crack lengths were measured with an eddy current bore probe and confirmed by optical metallography. The data from the eddy current tests on real stress corrosion cracks were used to construct an eddy current calibration curve for predicting stress corrosion crack lengths of aluminium alloy 7075(W).
