Abstract

A review is presented of the chemistry of surfaces in aqueous solutions, with emphasis on those process that contribute to stress corrosion cracking. Accordingly, the thermodynamic criteria for passive film formation are discussed in order to identify conditions under which stable and metastable corrosion products form on the surface. The electrical properties of both metal/electrolyte and oxide/electrolyte interfaces are also examined, and recent quantum mechanical modifications to the theories for the electrical double layer are discussed. Passivity, passivity breakdown, and the kinetics of repassivation play important roles in determining the susceptibility of a metal or alloy to stress corrosion cracking, and these phenomena are discussed at some length, particularly with respect to recently developed deterministic models for chemically- induced breakdown.
