Lr. Botvina et al., STAGES OF MULTIPLE FRACTURE OF LOW-ALLOY STEELS IN A HYDROGEN-SULFIDEMEDIUM, Metal science and heat treatment, 40(1-2), 1998, pp. 61-70
The mechanisms and stages of sulfide corrosion cracking of structural
steels containing nonmetallic inclusions of a round (oxisulfides) and
extended (sulfides) shape under a load are studied. The sizes of the r
egions of quasi-brittle fracture near nonmetallic inclusions, of the r
egions of the zones of plastic deformation under fracture surfaces, an
d of the fractal sizes of fracture profiles are estimated.
