The effects of overload on the threshold stress intensity factor (KISCC) for stress corrosion cracks (SCC) in stainless steel were studied. Tensile overload was applied to a wedge opening loaded specimen of SUS304, and SCC tests were carried out to determine the resultant KISCC. The value of KISCC was found to increase with increasing stress intensity caused by tensile overload. Comparison of the effects of tensile overload on KISCC of SUS304 and SUS316 revealed that the effect on KISCC of SUS304 was smaller than that of SUS316.
