Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) tests were carried out on specimens of Monel 400, Inconel 600, and Sanicro 30 steam generator tubing in solutions containing 10 to 500 g NaOH/kg H2O at 300 C for times up to 600 days. Applied stress and sodium hydroxide concentration had a significant effect on the (SCC) resistance of the three materials.
