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).

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in Cu-free Al-Zn-Mg (7xxx) aluminium alloys limits its use in many applications. In this work, we study in detail the microstructure of a peak and slightly overaged condition in an AA7003 alloy using transmission- and scanning electron microscopy in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the microstructural features related to SCC. The SCC properties have been assessed using the double cantilever beam method and slow strain rate tensile tests. Grain boundary particles, precipitate free zones, and matrix precipitates have been studied. A difference in the SCC properties is established between the two ageing conditions. The dominating difference is the size and orientation of the hardening phases. Possible explanations correlating the microstructure and SCC properties are discussed.
