Abstract
A purely phenomenological study of Stress Corrosion Craking (SCC) was perfo rmed using the couple AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel / boiling magnes ium chloride aqueous solution. The exploitation of the morphological inform ation (shape of the cracks and size distribution) available after constant elongation rate tests led to the apparent initiation of the cracks and to t heir growth rate. A law for the real initiation is proposed too and the elo ngation rate effect is quantitatively characterized.
