Principle of stress corrosion
Stress corrosion refers to the damage caused by metals in corrosive media under the action of tensile stress. This kind of corrosion generally passes through the grains, so-called through-grain corrosion. Stress corrosion. The process of material failure resulting from the combined action of strain and corrosion caused by residual or applied stress. Fracture of materials caused by stress corrosion is called stress corrosion fracture.
