Stress Corrosion Cracking

Stress Corrosion Cracking: Theory and Practice, Second Edition provides a cutting-edge overview of the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) field as well as numerous case studies in over ten different industries (such as refineries and biomaterials) to aid corrosion researchers and engineers in their work. This updated edition has been revised to include new insights on SCC prevention technologies, electrochemical aspects of SCC, hydrogen permeation and related techniques, and SCC in a variety of materials and settings, including high strength steels, ceramics and glasses, biomaterials, and more. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of hydrogen in metal deformation behavior.
