Abstract
This chapter begins with a stress corrosion cracking (SCC) definition and characteristics, testing methods common to SCC and hydrogen-induced cracking, fracture mechanics principles and techniques, and corrosion fatigue testing. SCC metallurgy is explained through case studies on SCC variables such as solid solution composition, grain boundary segregation, alloy phase transformation and associated solute depleted zones, duplex structures, and cold work. Electrochemical effects have been analyzed through case studies published between 2000 and 2013 by more than 200 references. The SCC fundamental principles, nature of the processes, and the protection strategies are explained through solved exercise problems from fracture mechanics and case studies published in the last decade.
