2、ginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers procedures for the design,preparation,and use of
3、 axially loaded,tension test specimensand fatigue pre-cracked(fracture mechanics)specimens for usein slow strain rate(SSR)tests to investigate the resistance ofmetallic materials to environmentally assisted cracking(EAC).While some investigators utilize SSR test techniques in com-bination with cycli
4、c or fatigue loading,no attempt has beenmade to incorporate such techniques into this practice.1.2 Slow strain rate testing is applicable to the evaluation ofa wide variety of metallic materials in test environments whichsimulate aqueous,nonaqueous,and gaseous service environ-ments over a wide range
5、 of temperatures and pressures thatmay cause EAC of susceptible materials.1.3 The primary use of this practice is to furnish acceptedprocedures for the accelerated testing of the resistance ofmetallic materials to EAC under various environmental condi-tions.In many cases,the initiation of EAC is acc
6、eleratedthrough the application of a dynamic strain in the gauge sectionor at a notch tip or crack tip,or both,of a specimen.Due to theaccelerated nature of this test,the results are not intended tonecessarily represent service performance,but rather to pro-vide a basis for screening,for detection o
