The model samples were synthesized and characterized in the Analytical Chemistry Dept of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles under the direction of Prof. C. Buess F.R. is grateful to P. Kons and E. Silberberg for the preparation of the samples. AES sputter profiles and factor analysis was performed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Dept, of Metallurgy, Electrochemistry and Materials Science. Many thanks to Prof. Vereecken, Hubin and Terryn for the discussions concerning the results and to N. Roose and O. Steenhaut for the Auger sputter profiles. The technical collaboration of L. Binst (ULB) is greatly appreciated.

Stress corrosion cracking is a complicated subject. Unless that is emphasized at the beginning, then the fine details of phenomenological and mechanistic factors will not be appreciated. In order to gain some understanding of stress corrosion cracking, it is necessary to realize that three different disciplines are at work in any stress corrosion situation. These are physical metallurgy, electrochemistry and fracture mechanics. 

The publication of periodicals did not begin until the middle of the 19th century. In the Seminario de la Industria Mexicana appears "Electrochemistry, its progress and applications to Arts and Metallurgy" (1841 pp 55-59). Examples in the Sociedad Cientifica Antonio Alzate (1887-1920) concern the decomposition of salts etc., by the electric current (18), the electrochemistry of gold and silver minerals (19), electro-sinu-caustic surgery (20), industrial electrochemistry (21), and the theories of ions (22). —...

Acknowledgments This chapter is based on a few classical studies and a research in the field of metal electrodeposition performed at the Department of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry at the Faculty of technology and Metallurgy and Institute of Electrochemistry, ICTM, University of Belgrade, Serbia. We would like to acknowledge all colleagues and students who participated in it. 

Corrosion science has now developed into an independent branch of electrochemistry that has intimate connections with other fields of science, particularly physical metallurgy. Its chief concerns are the origin and mechanisms of the various forms of corrosive attack and the development of efficient ways to fight corrosion. 

Physics in Brussels, his aim was to further the "progress of physics and physical chemistry." Jagdish Mehra has speculated that the emphasis on physical chemistry was cosmetic, rather than real, in order to honor Walther Nernst,52 but this seems unlikely. Like many industrialists, Solvay viewed the problems studied by physical chemists to have value for industrial production, especially with respect to the metallurgy of alloys and to industrial electrochemistry. 53 The Solvay Company contributed half a million francs for the building of the Institute of Electrotechology at Nancy, which opened in 1900 facing the Chemical Institute. 54... 

Electrochemistry finds wide application. In addition to industrial electrolytic processes, electroplating, and the manufacture and use of batteries already mentioned, the principles of electrochemistry are used in chemical analysis, e.g.. polarography, and electrometric or conductometric titrations in chemical synthesis, e.g., dyestuffs, fertilizers, plastics, insecticides in biolugy and medicine, e g., electrophoretic separation of proteins, membrane potentials in metallurgy, e.g.. corrosion prevention, eleclrorefining and in electricity, e.g., electrolytic rectifiers, electrolytic capacitors. 

In this symposium emphasis is placed on the first class of methods. Isolated examples of the third class are discussed. Consideration of the second class is omitted entirely. Indeed, the scope of the symposium is perhaps best described as encompassing the more widespread techniques of surface compositional analysis as applied to materials science and electrochemistry oriented problems. Many modern surface analysis methods, e.g., those embodying tip sample geometries (21 22, 3, 34), those based on synchrotron radiation (23, 25), and those dealing with surface structure (15-20) and dynamics ( 3, 21-23), as opposed to surface composition, are not represented in the symposium program even though many of them enjoy "industrial applications" in the areas of electronics, metallurgy and catalytic chemistry.
