Stresses (residual stress or applied stress) acting on a material can play a major role in a unique type of corrosion known as stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
Strong, reliable, ductile, lightweight and naturally corrosion resistant – aluminum is an ideal construction material. However, it deteriorates rapidly under certain conditions.
The purpose of cathodic protection (CP) is to reduce the potential difference between anodes and cathodes to a small value. Here's how it works to prevent corrosion.
Stress corrosion cracking occurs as a result of a combination of corrosion and tensile stress. Here we'll take a look at the types of SCC and the factors that contribute to their formation.
