Abstract The effects of solutions of 16 different electrolytes on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of AISI 4340 steel U-bend specimens have been studied at various concentrations and at 25, 65, and 100 C (77, 149, and 212 F). Stresses were near the yield point of the alloy. In unbuffered solutions of neutral salts, there was poor correlation between time to failure and the initial or final pH of the solution. In strongly buffered solutions, there was a strong pH dependence; the time to failure in 10% NaCl increased about 100 fold between pH 4–5 and pH 7. Susceptibility to cracking increased moderately with the concentration of KNO3 solutions, but decreased with rising concentration of NaCl solutions. The cracking rate increased by 50% per 10 C for NaCl solutions. The rate increased 85% per 10 C for KNO3 solutions. KNO2 or NaNO2, dicyclohexylammonium nitrate, some K2CrO4 solutions and all alkaline solutions with a strong reserve of base inhibited SCC by factors of 10 to 100 times as compared with cracking in distilled H2O.

ABSTRACT When performing predictive durability analyses on tires using finite element methods, it is generally recognized that energy release rate (ERR) is the best measure by which to characterize the fatigue behavior of rubber. By addressing actual cracks in a simulation geometry, ERR provides a more appropriate durability criterion than the strain energy density (SED) of geometries without cracks. If determined as a function of crack length and loading history, and augmented with material crack growth properties, ERR allows for a quantitative prediction of fatigue life. Complications arise, however, from extra steps required to implement the calculation of ERR within the analysis process. This article presents an overview and some details of a method to perform such analyses. The method involves a preprocessing step that automates the creation of a ribbon crack within an axisymmetric-geometry finite element model at a predetermined location. After inflating and expanding to three dimensions to fully load the tire against a surface, full ribbon sections of the crack are then incrementally closed through multiple solution steps, finally achieving complete closure. A postprocessing step is developed to determine ERR as a function of crack length from this enforced crack closure technique. This includes an innovative approach to calculating ERR as the crack length approaches zero.
