ECSS-Q-70-37A, SPACE PRODUCT ASSURANCE, DETERMINATION OF THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF METALS TO STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING (20 JAN 1998)

ECSS-Q-70-37A, SPACE PRODUCT ASSURANCE, DETERMINATION OF THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF METALS TO STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING (20 JAN 1998)., This document defines the preferred way to determine the susceptibility ofmetals and weldments to stress-corrosion cracking by alternate immersion in 3,5 % so- dium chloride under constant load. The results obtained from test programmes made according to this specification are used to classify alloys, weldments and their individual heat treatment condi- tions. When sufficient stress-corrosion data exists the alloy designations may be submitted for inclusion into the various tables contained in ECSS-Q-70-36.
