Title: Crack arrest markings in stress corrosion cracking of 7xxx aluminium alloys: insights into active hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms
Title: 应力腐蚀裂纹中的裂纹停止标记：对7xxx铝合金应力腐蚀裂纹的深入研究及活性氢脆机制
Abstract: Crack growth in stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in 7xxx Al alloys is an intermittent process, which generates successive crack arrest markings (CAMs) visible on the fracture surface. It is conjectured that H is generated at the crack tip during crack arrest, which then facilitates crack advancement through hydrogen embrittlement. Here, nanoscale imaging by 4D-scanning-transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography show that CAMs are produced by oxidation at the arrested crack tip, matrix precipitates dissolve and solute diffuse towards the growing CAM. Substantial homogenous residual strain remains underneath the fracture surface, indicative of non-localized plastic activity. Our study suggests that H induces crack propagation through decohesion.
