Overview

This document describes the fracture mechanics method of determining the crack growth rates of preexisting cracks under cyclic loading in a controlled environment and the measurement of the threshold stress intensity factor range for crack growth below which the rate of crack advance falls below some defined limit agreed between parties. The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 062-01-77 AA "Korrosionsprüfverfahren" ("Corrosion testing") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
