Abstract
Stress-corrosion is the cause of a large number of service failures in high strength materials. Consequently, it became necessary to make an inventory of the features of stress-corrosion fracture surfaces for investigating service failures in general, especially because such conspicuous features as intergranular cracking are not limited to stress-corrosion cracking and also because stress-corrosion cracking may even proceed transgranularly. In this report the results of such an inventory involving a number of aircraft materials, is presented.
