Abstract Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) occurs, or can occur, in all major alloy systems used in aircraft structures. The consequences of stress corrosion failures may be serious, even leading to loss of an aircraft. This chapter first surveys the types of structures and materials used in aircraft and the environments encountered by them. Case histories from a wide variety of aircraft are used to illustrate the problems caused by SCC in service. Guidelines are given for preventing and alleviating these problems.
