Stress corrosion cracking behavior of X52 pipeline steel was investigated in a near neutral pH solution by slow strain rate test, potentiodynamic polarization and surface analysis technique. Potentiodynamic polarization tests were performed at fast and slow potential sweep rates, to simulate crack tip and crack wall roles in the SCC process. The results showed that the dominant mechanism of SCC at relatively low and moderate applied potentials is anodic dissolution mechanism. While, at more cathodic applied potentials hydrogen based mechanism was the dominant one.
