Susceptibility of iron to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in nitrates is measured as a function of carbon, silicon, and germanium contents, and also for the binary alloys containing Ni, Cr, and Mo. Effects of cold work and heat treatment are also studied. The results are related to crack-sensitive paths established by interstitial elements segregating along grain boundary regions.
