ENVIRONMENTAL AND METALLURGICAL FACTORSnOF STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING IN HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS

摘要

Substantial effort has been expended to develop high-strength steels to meet the needs of present and future high-speed aircraft and missiles. In the course of this effort, attention has been given to such factors as mechanical properties, melting and processing procedures, fabricability, heat treatment, surface stability, and dimensional tolerances.
