korrosjonsutmattingsbrudd
Korrosjonsutmattingsbrudd refers to the fracture of a material due to the combined action of cyclic stress and a corrosive environment. This phenomenon is particularly problematic for metals and alloys that are susceptible to corrosion. When a material is subjected to repeated loading, even if the applied stress is below the material's yield strength, microscopic cracks can initiate and propagate over time. In a corrosive environment, the presence of an electrolyte accelerates this crack growth.
The corrosive elements in the environment can react with the metal at the crack tip, weakening the
Factors influencing korrosjonsutmattingsbrudd include the type of corrosive environment (e.g., saltwater, acidic solutions), the material's susceptibility
