Slow Strain Rate Testing (SSRT) is a laboratory testing method used to evaluate the susceptibility of materials, especially metals, to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). This testing technique is designed to replicate conditions that can lead to SCC in service environments, allowing researchers and engineers to assess how materials perform under slow strain rates, which are typical of many industrial applications.
