Control of Stress Corrosion Cracking by Inhibitors (A Review of the Literature).

Abstract

Studies of inhibitors of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) are reviewed for austenitic stainless steels, brass, titanium, aluminum alloys, and carbon and low alloy steels. There are at least five combinations of alloy and environment for which inhibitors have provided engineering solutions for the control of SCC, and others are not improbable at an early date. In view of the complexity of the problem and the comparatively few sustained research programs in this special field, it is not surprising that the fundamentals of inhibition of SCC are incompletely understood.
