Abstract: A stress corrosion crack test method for evaluating the stress corrosion crack susceptibility of a steel material in alcohol. The method includes filling a cell containing a uniaxial tensile test piece of the steel material with an alcohol solution containing carboxylic acid: 0.1 mmol/L or more and less than 40 mmol/L, chloride ions: 0.05 mg/L or more and less than 300 mg/L, and water: 0.1 vol. % or more and less than 5 vol. %. Additionally, the method includes applying a fluctuating stress at a frequency of 2.0×10?5 Hz or more and 2.0×10?2 Hz or less to the uniaxial tensile test piece in the tensile direction. The maximum stress being equal to or more than the yield strength and less than the tensile strength at a test solution temperature, and the minimum stress being 0% or more and 90% or less of the yield strength.
