Corrosion of metals and alloys — Evaluation of stress corrosion cracking by the drop evaporation test

1.1 This International Standard specifies the procedure for determining the relative resistance of stainless steels

and nickel-base alloys to stress corrosion cracking in a sodium chloride drop evaporation system.

1.2 The method results in a threshold stress to fracture, the magnitude of which can be used to rank the relative

performance of different alloys for this environment.
