This book describes the scientific, technical and practical aspects of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) occurring on pipelines. It summarizes the phenomena, mechanisms and management of pipeline SCC from in-service experiences and laboratory experiments to the range of modeling prediction for SCC initiation and propagation, and the remaining uncertainties that affect the understanding of pipeline SCC. For completeness, the book also includes fundamentals of SCC as well as the author's recent research results on pipeline SCC of high-strength pipeline steel.

Y. FRANK CHENG, PhD, is Professor and Canada Research Chair in Pipeline Engineering at the University of Calgary. Dr. Cheng has published over 115 journal articles dedicated to corrosion, pipeline engineering, and materials science. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Committee for Pipeline Transportation of Diluted Bitumen; the Editorial Board of Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology; and the Board of Directors of the Canadian Fracture Research Corporation. Dr. Cheng is also Theme Editor of Pipeline Engineering for the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems, developed under the auspices of UNESCO.
