This book was released on 1971 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue crack growth rates (da/dN) as a function of applied stress intensity amplitude (delta K) were determined for four high strength steels (HP 9-4-.45, 18% Ni marage 250, D6Ac, AISI 4340) in air at 10 percent and at 80 percent relative humidities (R.H.). All four steels demonstrated sensitivity to high humidity with crack growth rates in 80 percent R.H. air being one and one-half to two times as high as in 10 percent R.H. air. Overall crack growth rates of three steels, HP 9-4-.45, 18% Ni marage 250, and D6Ac, were similar, while rates for AISI 4340 were uniformly higher than those of the other three steels. (Author).
