STP 1401 is the most comprehensive volume to be publishedon this topic within the past ten years. It features thelatest international developments on the generation of relevantmaterials and properties data based on laboratory tests, andmethodologies for the evaluation and assessment of environmentalassisted cracking in equipment and structures exposed to corrosiveservice environments.

27 peer-reviewed papers, written by leading scientists andexperts worldwide, discuss:

• Uses of electrochemical, surface analysis, slow strain rate,and fracture mechanics techniques.

• Correlation between laboratory and in-service crackingresistance.

• State-of-the art developments in fitness-for-service and riskassessment methodologies.

• Monitoring of equipment and structures for environmentallyassisted cracking.

• Uses of corrosion models to understand mechanisms and predictservice life of equipment.
