Reflections on Early Stages of Environmentally Assisted Cracking from Corrosion Pits

A perspective is presented on the evolution of damage due to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC), from crack precursor development through to long crack growth. The variable nature of crack precursors is highlighted with an observation that uncontrolled chemistry excursions or fabrication defect...
