Abstract: This paper introduces a research project the authors have proposed. The project aims to gather non-destructive testing data of stress corrosion cracking specimens and present them as benchmark data freely available to researchers in the field. Round-robin test using seven austenitic stainless steel plate specimens with artificial stress corrosion cracking is carried out, and they are measured using various non-destructive testing methods. The data measured are made available together with the results of destructive tests to confirm the true profile of the cracking.

Keywords: Nondestructive testing, round-robin test, benchmark data, austenitic stainless steel
