Stress Corrosion is evidenced when the metal strength loss resulting from the combined stress and corrosion is greater than the effects of stress and corrosion acting separately. The magnitude of the combined effect is a measure of the susceptibility of the material to stress corrosion.

Stress corrosion is generally evidenced as cracks giving an appearance of brittleness in a material which is otherwise has normal ductile properties. The cracks may follow intergranular paths which grow at relatively slow velocities. If the load is constant during the period of crack growth the cracks will eventually reach a critical size to result in material failure.
