Abstract: The present understanding of the causes of stress-corrosion cracking of buried pipelines are reviewed and the progress of research to develop solutions to the problem is described. For existing pipelines, the most promising tentative solutions to the problem appear to lie in periodic hydrostatic relesting lowering discharge temperatures, and, if shown to be effective, interrupted cathodic protection. For future pipelines, additional possible solutions may lie in better coatings, inhibitor-containing coalings, shot peening or grit blasting, or steel more resistant to stress-corrosion cracking. Research is in progress.
