Abstract
Stainless steels, their crystal structure, classifications, and common microstructural features are introduced. An overview is given of the three conditions that synergistically interact to give rise to stress corrosion cracking (SCC): material, stress, and corrosive environment. Specific models of crack initiation and propagation are considered. A summary of key environments known to cause SCC in a range of stainless steels is given, including chloride environments, sulphur containing solutions, and high temperature aqueous environments. Some of the current techniques used to study SCC are also reviewed, providing an overview of the latest developments.
