Technical Literature: STRESS CORROSION SYMPOSIUM Available to Purchase

Stress Corrosion Cracking and Embrittlement. Ed. W. D. Robertson. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., N.Y. & Chapman & Hall. Ltd., London. 1956. Pp. 202, illus. This book consists of a series of papers given by authors from Great Britain, U.S.A., Canada and Germany at a symposium arranged by the Corrosion Division of the Electrochemical Society in 1954. A similar symposium on the subject was sponsored by the A.S.T.M. and A.I.M.M.E. in 1944. The present work may be regarded, therefore, as a continuation of the A.S.T.M. publication and represents a comprehensive account of the important work carried out on stress corrosion cracking between 1944 and 1954.
