Abstract
The fractographic results of stress corrosion cracking of a 316L type auste nitic stainless steel in MgCl2 are in good agreement with the corrosion enh anced plasticity model. Based on the ideas of this model, the research of a n improvement of the SCC resistance is attempted. It is shown that a cyclic prehardening can delay the initiation of the first microcracks and decreas e the crack propagation velocity.
