Definitions for "Corrosion fatigue"
Fatigue type cracking of metal caused by repeated or fluctuating stresses in a corrosive environment characterized by shorter life than would be encountered as a result of either the repeated or fluctuating stress alone or the corrosive environment alone.
Cracking that initiates and propagates due to the application of repeated or fluctuating stresses, and the initiation and propagation occurs more rapidly due to the presence of a corrosive environment.
Fatigue accelerated by simultaneous attack from a corrosive environment.
