It is well established that microstructure is an important factor in determining the corrosion behaviour of aluminium alloys. (W 133) (1)

Corrosion behaviour = Conduta corrosiva

Full size endurance testing is required to give a more complete understanding of the corrosion fatigue behaviour of girth welds in candidate stainless steels for riser applications (W 103) (2)

Fatigue behaviour = Conduta fatigante

For this paper, there was a need to generate equivalent data looking at notch acuity for SENT specimens, both for ductile and brittle behaviour. (W 17) (3)

Brittle behaviour = Conduta frágil
