Abstract
The direct current electric potential around a number of penny-shaped cracks was analyzed by Crack-Flow Modification Method (CFMM) in order to investigate the applicability of the Direct Current Electrical Potential Method (DC-EPM) to the detection of damage due to multiple small internal cracks. The potential difference was calculated for the cracking process in a smooth round bar specimen of a Type 304 stainless steel under a creep-fatigue condition. It was clarified by the analysis that, in the case of the present creep-fatigue test, damage could be detected at about a half of the lifetime assuming that a change of 1 percent in the potential difference was measurable by a voltmeter.
