Abstract

Near-threshold corrosion fatigue crack propagation studies have been conducted on Mil S-24645 HSLA steel, a compatible weld metal and its heat affected zone in air, ASTM seawater at the free corrosion potential, and ASTM seawater with -0.8 V and -1.0 V (SCE) cathodic protection, using frequencies of 10, 2, and 0.2 Hz with a stress ratio, R = 0.1. The weldments exhibited slower crack growth rates and higher threshold stress intensity ranges in both air and ASTM seawater than the base metal. With the exception of the weld metal tested in air, after correction for crack closure, all the effective threshold stress intensity ranges were reduced to the range 3.5 to 5.5 MPa m1/2. The crack closure contributions to the threshold stress intensity ranges and near-threshold crack propagation rates are discussed.
