N2 - This chapter describes the mechanisms and fractographic features of environmentally-assisted fractures. It begins with the general aspects of environmental fracture, such as definition, influencing factors and stages. To better understand the role of environment, the fundamentals of corrosion in metals are described. The environmentally-assisted fracture modes described are: Stress Corrosion Cracking, Creep Fracture and Hydrogen-Induced Cracking. In each of these modes of fracture, the mechanical aspects, the fractographic features and the basic mechanisms are described, with the aid of diagrams, graphs and photographs of fractures at both the macro- and microscopic levels.
