Abstract:Extensive work over almost the past hundred years has suggested that the stress corrosion cracking of metals and alloys in aqueous environments is primarily an electrochemical phenomenon falling within the realm of the differential aeration hypothesis (DAH). An important feature of the DAH is that the local anode and the local cathode are spatially separated, with the former existing within the crack enclave (on the crack flanks and at the crack tip) and the latter existing on the bold, external surfaces.
