Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corrosion cracking (CC) can cause premature failure of metals and alloys in a corrosive environment. In many cases, CC can cause catastrophic and unexpected failures. Full understanding of the exact mechanisms is lacking, as they can be material-specific. For example, alloying elements strongly affect CC of stainless steel. This Special Issue on “Corrosion Cracking Behavior of Metals and Alloys” will focus on fundamental aspects of CC. Individual research articles or comprehensive reviews on CC are welcome. This Special Issue will cover the latest research on this important topic.
