Constant load delayed fracture test
JFE-TEC proposes the optimum test method for each set of conditions.
Constant load delayed fracture test
Test performed to measure the threshold stress for delayed fracture under constant load (constant tension, bending, etc.).
A test specimen under stress loading is immersed in a corrosive solution, and the following items are measured.
- Time to crack initiation
- Lower threshold stress for crack initiation
- Lower threshold stress intensity factor for crack initiation

Slow strain rate tensile delayed fracture test (SSRT)
The slow strain rate tensile test (tension speed: 0.1 mm/min-0.0001 mm.min) is performed either after or during hydrogen charging.
