A form of stress corrosion failure termed as 'season cracking' is generally observed in __________________?
Correct answer: A. Brasses
- A. Brasses
- B. High carbon steels
- C. Thermosetting polymers
- D. Borosilicate glasses
Explanation
Season cracking is stress-corrosion cracking traditionally associated with brass, especially when residual tensile stress and ammonia or similar environments are present. It is therefore a classic example of cracking in copper-zinc alloys.
