In the March 2005 issue of Corrosion (Vol. 61, No. 3, p. 197-200), the manuscript “An Inconsistency in Surface Mobility Mechanism of Stress Corrosion Cracking,” by E.M. Gutman contained an editorial error. The caption for Figure 1 should have read:
FIGURE 1. Schematic presentation of the (a) tip of a sharp crack and (b) and (c) Nabarro-creep mechanism9 in the surface layer near the tip. Bold points mark atoms, ABCD is a single grain, and L is the linear size of the grain. Dotted arrows (b) point to the possible paths of vacancy diffusion under tensile stress σ in a grain ABCD that leads to diffusive Nabarro-creep deformation following displacement of the face AB to the right, i.e., in the direction of the crack growth in (a), accompanied by the grain elongation in the direction of σ due to equivalent mass transfer (counter-flux) of atoms (broken arrows in...
