Objective The purpose of the proposed research is to determine the influence of the test technique including constant displacement, constant load, slow strain rate and small amplitude cyclic loading on the stress corrosion resistance and hydrogen uptake in a variety of steel/environment systems. In addition, the influence of naturally occurring changes in the testing solution will be examined with respect to the stress corrosion properties and hydrogen uptake. Use will be make of a mathematical model for corrosion fatigue developed under a previous ECSC supported project in order to understand the influence of ripple loading. Information regarding hydrogen uptake, loading conditions and the stress corrosion behaviour should provide a basis for understanding the processes controlling cracking and provide guidelines for the development of steel alloys resistant to stress corrosion cracking.
