The mechanisms that cause stress corrosion cracking and the conditions in which they apply are reviewed. Attention is given to hydrogen-assisted cracking, film-induced cleavage, dissolution mechanisms, surface-mobility mechanism, cracking environments, deformation and cracking, and stochastic aspects of cracking. 70 refs.
