Corrosion of metals and alloys. Stress corrosion testing. Preparation and use of pre-cracked specimens for tests under rising load or rising displacement | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope 1.1 This part of ISO 7539 covers procedures for designing, preparing and using pre-cracked specimens for investigating the susceptibility of metal to stress corrosion cracking by means of tests conducted under rising load or rising displacement. Tests conducted under constant load or constant displacement are dealt with in ISO 7539‑6. The term “metal” as used in this part of ISO 7539 includes alloys.
