I believe that if brass is used in compressive stress rather than tensile stress the propensity to suffer stress corrosion cracking is removed. Am I correct? Does anyone know of any learned papers that support this?

You can go thro' the topic in Hendrix Discussion Forum on Stress Corrosion Cracking in Brass which very categorically mentions that Stress corrosion cracking or "season cracking" occurs only in the simultaneous presence of a sufficiently high tensile stress and a specific corrosive environment like amoniacal or amines. But whether under compressive loading the intensity of SCC is removed is to be experimented under lab Simulators. regards

SCC to occur stress is also one factory.Simply by altering the type of stress you cant avoid SCC susceptibility material.Environment(medium)plays a major role even the amount of stress level is very low. SCC is a combination of MEDIUM INVOLVED STRESS INTENSITY LEVEL METHOD OF FABRICATION HEAT TREATMENT ETC. regards,
