Stress-assisted corrosion refers to attack at locations where applied and/or residual stresses are imparted to the metal. Case histories are presented from a variety of different boiler systems that illustrate the effects of stress-assisted corrosion, including environmental conditions that may promote attack. Methods that may be used to control stress-assisted corrosion are also outlined.
