Famous Failures: Stress Corrosion and the Silver Bridge Failure

March 24, 2021 3:19 pm

Stress corrosion cracking is a progressive cracking mechanism that can often lead to catastrophic failure. There have been several notable failures due to this phenomenon, such as the collapse of the Silver Bridge in December of 1967. Learn about this failure in the first webinar of our “Famous Failures” series, as well as the metallurgy behind it, with other examples.
