Corrosion cracking is a critical phenomenon in the field of material science and engineering, representing a severe form of material degradation. This type of cracking occurs when a material, typically a metal, is subjected to both a corrosive environment and tensile stress. Among the various forms of corrosion cracking, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is particularly noteworthy due to its insidious and dangerous nature.
