Analysis of plastic deformation behavior at SCC crack tip by EBSP method

Kaji, Yoshiyuki  ; Miwa, Yukio; Tsukada, Takashi 

From results of analysis of plastic deformation behavior at SCC crack tip by EBSP method, the conclusions was obtained as follows: (1)Regarding to basic data for quantitative evaluation of plastic deformation behavior at SCC crack tip, we obtained relationship between plastic deformation and misorientation of grain using SSRT result for SUS316L stainless steel in high temperature water and local plastic strain was able to estimate using this relationship. (2)From experimental results of plastic strain at SCC crack and ductile crack tips using relationship between misorientation and plastic deformation, plastic strain near ductile crack tip was larger than that at SCC crack tip. Plastic deformation region was, however, corresponded to region of about one grain at crack tip for both SCC and ductile cracks.
