The effect of hydrogen peroxide on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of sensitized Type 304 stainless steel was studied in water containing various amounts of dissolved oxygen at 150°C by cyclic slow strain rate tests. It was found that the intergranular SCC by dissolved oxygen was effectively inhibited by the addition of hydrogen peroxide, and its concentration required for preventing the SCC increased with increasing the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the water.
