[en] Described is a method of determination of corrosion cracking (CC) resistance characteristics for metals applied for industrial machines and plants. The method is based on CC consideration as a kinetic process described by the degree equation and on the application of the lg delta-lg tau diagram as characteristics to CC material, a yield strength deltasub(CC10sup(5)) and a ratio of deltasub(CC10sup(5)) value to yield strength and ultimate strength
