Abstract
Environmental cracking is a term used to encompass all types of cracking that occur as a result of interaction of a metal and its environment, such as stress-corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, liquid metal embrittlement, etc. From an engineering viewpoint, the most interesting and dangerous corrosion failure of a metal component is obviously the stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) - a phenomenon associated with a combination of static tensile stress and a specific corrosive environment.
