The kinetics and fractographic features of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in ZK60 and AZ31 alloys was investigated. It is established that ZK60 alloy possesses higher SCC resistance and fracture toughness compared to those of AZ31 alloy as is evidenced by the higher threshold stress intensity factors K1SCC and Kc. However, the lower average velocity of the stable SCC is observed in AZ31 alloy than in ZK60 one. Stable SCC occurs in two sub-stages, the first of which is featured by the lower crack growth rate and brittle fracture mode, while the higher crack velocity and quasi-cleavage fracture mode herald the second sub-stage. The crack growth velocities at specific SCC stages as well as stress intensity factor Kf associated with the alternation of the fracture mode are evaluated.
