Importance of repassivation kinetics in SCC SCC of stainless steels in Cl- solution occurs via repetitive processes of film breakdown/ dissolution / repassivation (film rupture & slip dissolution model). Repassivation rate = For an alloy/environment system where a smooth specimen of alloy is subjected to a constant loading condition, the inherent repassivation rate of alloy will determine SCC susceptibility. A close relationship between SCC susceptibility and repassivation rate for stainless steels.
