me. Khile metals subject to repeated stress in air a t rooni ternijerature show a critical value of stress (endurance limit, or fatigue liriiit) below which cracking does not take place over an enormous ,lumber of cycles of stress, this critical value frequently does not appear when the metals are exposed to corrosive environment.. \[-hen alternating stresses are applied in corrosive environments.-he stresses necessary to produce corrosion-fatigue cracking are :iliich loa-er than those needed to produce fatigue cracking. The
