EVS-EN ISO 11782-1:2008

1.1   This International Standard provides guidance and instruction on corrosion fatigue testing of metals and alloysin aqueous or gaseous environments and is concerned with cycles to failure testing. Crack propagation testing isconsidered in ISO 11782-2.   1.2   Corrosive or otherwise chemically active environments can promote the initiation of fatigue cracks in metalsand alloys and increase the rate of fatigue crack propagation. Corrosion fatigue processes are not limited to specificmetal/environment systems and reliable estimates of fatigue life for all combinations of loading and environmentcannot 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.
