Stainless steel 304 alloy as u-bend was tested in the solution that contains 40 weight percent of magnesium chloride. U- f bended samples were prepared according to ASTM G30. EIS measurements were always performed simultaneously on u-bend samples under stress and non-stress conditions. The results indicate that o changes in phase shift versus time could be related to the stress corrosion cracking process. Stress corrosion cracking is detectable at a frequency of 23.95 Hz. EIS measurement can be used for SCC monitoring in u-bend samples. Finally, analysis of the fracture surface by
