Observation of stress corrosion cracking using real-time in situ high-speed atomic force microscopy and correlative techniques
Abstract Contact-mode high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) has been utilised to measure in situ stress corrosion cracking (SCC) with nanometre resolution on AISI Type 304 stainless steel in an aggressive salt solution. SCC is an important failure mode in many metal systems but has a complicat...
