Corrosion-induced cracking is the most widely encountered and studied long-term deterioration process in reinforced concrete. Naturally occurring corrosion rates are so low that rust accumulates often over tens of years near surface reinforcement bars before sufficient pressure surrounding concrete generated to induce cover. To speed up laboratory tests, setups with impressed currents have been...

Recently, magnesium alloys have garnered a lot of interest as potentially useful material for applications involving biodegradable implants. Cracking or fracture metal-based implants under the combined action corrosion and mechanical stresses, namely stress cracking (SCC) is an obviously critical criterion before any new might be deployed occurs simultaneous stresses. This article gives review ...

The applications of stainless steel are one of the most reliable solutions in concrete structures to reduce chloride-induced corrosion problems and increase the structures service life, however, due to high prices of nickel, especially in many civil engineering projects, the austenitic stainless steel is replaced by the ferritic stainless steels. Compared with austenite stainless steel, the fer...

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is now globally recognized by pipeline operators as a significant threat to the safe and efficient operation of their systems. Onshore natural gas, oil and refined products line pipe steels have all been susceptible to this form of environmentally assisted cracking, which can develop as either low or high pH SCC. Over the years, the pipeline industry has develope...
