The paper reviews recent data on stress corrosion cracking of sensitized Type 304 stainless steel in oxygen containing pure water and in dilute solutions of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride at temperatures ranging from 100 to 300 C. The effects of the carbon content of the steel; the degree of sensitization; the composition, structure and thickness of surface oxide films; stress and strain, and the oxygen content and pH of the solution, on the SCC behavior of this material are analyzed. The mechanism of the intergranular SCC of Type 304 stainless steel is discussed.
