Corrosion Fatigue
Lower stress
Repeated Load cyclic

Process of corrosion fatigue

Fractures under corrosion

begin Cracking the surface
Pits and trans granularly
Crack propagate
Crack unbranched- perpendicular

Initiation corrosion fatigue

Crack start at surface.

Crack under surface .
Loading cyclic slip band.
surface crated Oxidized unloading
period .
First cyclic- intrusion and extrusion.
Continud deformation.
Form crack.

Propagation of corrosion
fatigue

Propagate the stress axis.

Stress concentration- zone- crack tip.
Increasing zone-crack growth.
zone = thickness of sample .
Crack propagates perpendicular.
Undergoes rotation.
Each cyclic crack star to grow.

Characteristics of corrosion
fatigue

Cracks near fracture .

Certain steels trans granular.
Crack initiated at the surface.
The striation less clearer.
