The studies described in this paper are part of an overall program to evaluate and develop high strength steels for possible use in hydrospace applications, particularly as deep diving submersible materials. Resistance to stress corrosion cracking. always a desirable property for most materials, is clearly of paramount importance in such applications. An increased effort directed toward the development of high strength steels for use in sea water applications has resulted in the need for a better understanding of the metallurgical and environmental factors that often contribute to material failure in saline environments, frequently at relatively low stress levels.
