Stress Corrosion Cracking

As per available reports about 28 journals, 21 Conferences, 18 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to stress corrosion cracking and about 382700 articles are being published on the current trends in stress corrosion cracking. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to stress corrosion cracking are being carried out. As reported in Metals Handbook, Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the growth of crack formation in a corrosive environment. It can lead to unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals subjected to a tensile stress, especially at elevated temperature in the case of metals.

The Journal of Material Sciences & Engineering, is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in stress corrosion cracking. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Material Sciences & Engineering provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of material sciences and engineering, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences is supporting 3rd International Conference and Exhibition on Materials Science and Engineering during October 06-08, 2014 Hilton San Antonio Airport, San Antonio, USA with the theme of Exploring the Advancements in Materials Research, Synthesis, and Fabrication.
