Applied and residual stresses significantly contribute to corrosion and cracking mechanisms. In some situations stresses are the primary cause of damage or failure. In such cases, mitigation of corrosion or cracking may require changes in operating practice or design that will reduce stresses. Case histories are presented that describe a variety of stress-related failures in boiler components. The failure mechanisms and recommended control measures are described in detail.
