DANSK DS/EN ISO 11782-1 PDF

1.1 This International Standard provides guidance and instruction on corrosion fatigue testing of metals and alloys in aqueous or gaseous environments and is concerned with cycles to failure testing. Crack propagation testing is considered in ISO 11782-2.
1.2 Corrosive or otherwise chemically active environments can promote the initiation of fatigue cracks in metals and alloys and increase the rate of fatigue crack propagation. Corrosion fatigue processes are not limited to specific metal/environment systems and reliable estimates of fatigue life for all combinations of loading and environment cannot be made without data from laboratory tests.
1.3 This International Standard is not intended for application to corrosion fatigue testing of components or parts; nevertheless many of the general principles will apply.
