Aluminium alloys used in the aeronautical industry, and in particular the high strength Al-Zn-
Mg (-Cu) alloys of 7XXX series, can be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In the …

A critical evaluation of mechanistically based modelling of environment-assisted cracking
has been made. Models based on anodic reaction, namely slip-dissolution, anodic reaction …

The phase field method is a powerful tool for studying microstructural evolution in various
domains of material sciences, including phase change, initiation and propagation of fracture …

Critical experiments are presented to test the corrosion enhanced plasticity model proposed
some years ago by one of the present authors to describe the SCC of austenitic stainless …

The API 5L X70 and X52 pipeline steel weld fracture toughness parameters are measured in
a hydrogen environment and compared to the ones in air. The hydrogen environment is …

The effect of crystallography on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking
(TGCISCC) of arc welded 304L austenitic stainless steel is studied on> 300 grains along …

Designing new structural materials, extending lifetimes and guarding against fracture in
service are among the preoccupations of engineers, and to deal with these they need to …

Cold-work has been associated with the occurrence of intergranular cracking of stainless
steels employed in light water reactors. This study examined the deformation behavior of …

The discrete simulation method for hydrogen–dislocation interactions is applied to the study
of Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). We recall the main results of the experimental study of …

The effects of critical defects on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Al–7.82 Zn–1.99 Mg–
2.41 Cu–0.12 Zr alloy under under-ageing (UA), peak-ageing (PA) double-ageing (DA) and …
