Abstract
The most reliable way to avoid chloride stress corrosion cracking is to select materials that are not susceptible to cracking in the operating environment. Ferritic stainess steels, known of their resistance to stress corrosion, have not been available with adequate pitting and crevice corrosion combined with adequate toughness and fabricability. New processing technology has made possible the production of ferritic stainless steels at new levels of crevice corrosion resistance. These grades now readily available as sheet, pipe, and tube have been successfully applied in many different industries and appear to be a cost effective solution to stress corrosion cracking.
