Stress Corrosion Cracking, a failure which occurs when metals are exposed to stress in a corroding environment.

Stress corrosion cracking is a form of localized corrosion that will affect metal causing sudden cracks. This forms of corrosion is typical of certain combination of metal-environments. For example Stainless Steel will crak in contact with Chloride at temperature above approx 60°C, Copper when in contact with ammonia or Carbon Steel in contact with Caustic Solutions.
Galvanic, pitting, concentration cell, intergranular, stress cracking, Uniform etch, crevis corrosion
Anodic current; temperature; acid; repeated stress (stress corrosion cracking); water; salts especially chlorides; a dissimilar metal placed in direct contact (galvanic corrosion). Poor painting (pinhole corrosion - concentrates all the anodic current in one small place) and others

Actually there is no threshold value for Chloride stress corrosion cracking in stainless steels. Generally chloride is a crucial threat for operation systems and there is no specific solution except oxygen scavenging that will reduce the cracking possibility. According to Shell degradation library, below 10 ppm in temperatures lower than 60 deg c, cracking susceptibility is low.
Iron and steel rusting is an example of corrosion. Copper pitting or the green patina one sees on copper roofs are also examples of corrosion. Stress Cracking is also considered an example of corrosion.
