Cover Story: Laser shock peening (LSP) was performed on 304L stainless steel, and the SCC properties were evaluated by the U-bend test in 42% MgCl2. LSP induced a residual compressive stress in the depth direction and a grain refinement and an increased pitting potential of the cross section, and thus, total and net crack propagation rates were reduced. Based on the multiple regression analysis, the relationship between residual stress and crack propagation rates was strong, but the relationships between average grain size or pitting potential of the cross section and crack propagation rates were moderate or weak, respectively.
