 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.
