Abstract: The α-Ti foil with protective layer in one side bended to corrosion surface gradually during corrosion process in 0.1 mol/L H2SO4, while the passive film was formed, i.e., a tensile stress was developed in the surface layer of the sample. The extra tensile Stress grew gradually, whose maximum value is =313 MPa (average of 5 samples), which is near or reaches the yield stress. The extra tensile stress would be added to the load Stress during SCC to facilitate the emission and motion of dislocation, so that SCC cracks could nucleate in lower Stress(or lower KI).
