Abstract: The environment-sensitive fracture behaviour of 0Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel in boiling 42% MgCl_2 under the specific load of low frequency and high mean stress was inves- tigated from the relations and differences of crack growth rates and fractographs between stress corrosion fatigue and stress corrosion cracking.The interaction between stress corro- sion cracking and corrosion fatigue was also studied from fracture characteristics with empha- sis on the effects of applied potential on the interaction.

Key words: environment-sensitive fracture, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, stress corrosion fatigue
