To date, in over 10 years of aquaculture experience, chain link mesh fabricated by these brass alloys have not suffered from dezincification, stress corrosion cracking, or erosion corrosion.

This enables the use of copper s beneficial mechanical and chemical properties ( e . g ., stress corrosion cracking, ammonia attack ) along with titanium s excellent corrosion resistance.
33.
This material is not only corrosion-resistant in a low-oxygen or oxygen-free environment, but also much less susceptible to stress corrosion cracking ( SCC ) than the urea-grade steels in previous use.
34.
Thiosulfate ( S 2 O ) is well known to induce pitting corrosion while dissolved free sulfide ( Na 2 S ) is responsible for stress corrosion cracking ( SCC ).
35.
In a Dutch publication ( 2015 ) " stress corrosion cracking " of stainless steel fasteners or other loaded stainless steel elements was suggested as being the cause of this accident.
36.
Different types of crack growth ( e . g . fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement ) produce characteristic features on the surface, which can be used to help identify the failure mode.
37.
Pitting corrosion can also help initiate stress corrosion cracking, as happened when a single eyebar on the Silver Bridge, West Virginia failed and ended up killing 46 people on the bridge in December, 1967.
38.
Inducing residual compressive stresses into materials can also increase their resistance to stress corrosion cracking; that is, non-mechanically-assisted cracking that occurs when a material is placed in a corrosive environment in the presence of tensile stress.
39.
NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan said that based on a videotape from a remote-controlled camera sent into the tube, " it's probable that this was stress corrosion cracking, " although a final conclusion is still weeks away.
40.
As in the case of stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement may also lead to a decrease in the threshold stress intensity factor for crack propagation or an increase in the sub critical crack growth velocity of the material.
