 It is the growth of crack formation in a
corrosive environment. It can lead to
unexpected sudden failure of normally
ductile metals subjected to a tensile stress,
especially at elevated temperature.
It is highly chemically specific in that
certain alloys are likely to undergo SCC
only when exposed to a small number of
chemical environments.
The stresses can be the result of the crevice
loads due to stress concentration, or can be
caused by the type of assembly or residual
stresses from fabrication (e.g. cold REFRENCE:-
working); the residual stresses can be http://corrosion-

relieved by annealing or other surface SCC/scc.htm
treatments.
 This process involves accelerated
corrosion along a path of higher than
normal corrosion susceptibility, with the
bulk of the material typically being
passive.
The most common active path is the grain
boundary, where segregation of impurity
elements can make it marginally more
difficult for passivation to occur.
For example, when an austenitic stainless
steel has been sensitised by precipitation of
chromium carbide along the grain
boundary, the local chromium
concentration at the grain boundary will be REFRENCE:-
reduced, and this region will be slightly http://www.npl.co.uk/upload/pd
f/stress.pdf
less easily passivated.
 Typical SCC failures are seen in
pressure vessels, pipework, highly
stressed components and in systems
when an excursion from normal
operating conditions or the environment
occurs.
A classic example of SCC is season
cracking of brass cartridge cases, a
problem experienced by the British
army in India in the early 19th century.
There was substantial residual stress in

annealing the shells to ameliorate the
stress.
 The most effective means of preventing
stress corrosion are:-
Properly with the right materials.
Reduce stresses.
Remove critical environmental species
such as hydroxides, chlorides, and
oxygen.
Avoid stagnant areas and crevices in
heat exchangers where chloride and
hydroxide might become concentrated.
Low alloy steels are less susceptible
than high alloy steels, but they are

 Aluminium metal naturally
protects itself by immediately
forming a protective layer
whenever the surface is damaged.
Anodising is a process that can
provide much thicker protective
layers than those that occur
naturally. Anodising is about as
hard as ruby or sapphire, making it
a strongly abrasion and corrosion
resistant surface.
Anodising is suitable for both
commercial and domestic joinery. REFRENCE :-

 The anodising process involves passing a
controlled electrical current through
extruded aluminium profiles immersed in
an acidic (sulphuric) solution which then
forms a protective film of aluminium oxide
on the surface of the aluminium.
Anodising essentially is an induced
thickening of the natural protective oxide
film on the metals surface.
It is proven as a very durable finish, of
which the lifetime is dependent on the These carabiners have an
