Abstract:  
Studies were carried out to determine the protective effects of shot peening sgainst stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of austenitic stainless steel 304. SCC susceptibility of shot-peened specimens was evaluated by using a constant load type SCC test apparatus in three kinds of corrodents. Beneficial effects and some problems encountered in shot peening for the prevention of SCC are discussed.
