The paper highlights 300M steel as an engineering material that is commonly used in special applications where fracture toughness, ductility, and ultra-high strength in the 2000-2070MPa range is required such as aircraft landing gear, airframe parts, undercarriage components, gears, shafts, and bolts. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is recapitulated as the drawback of the steel in its service applications. The aim of the paper is to call attention to the SCC problem and highlight the pros and cons of the existing alleviation methods for better appreciation of the way forward. The overview indicates interminable positive research inputs in alleviating SCC of the steel in its service applications by; use of coatings, heat and surface-treatments, inducement of surface compressive stresses, design techniques, and cathodic protection. It is however seen that SCC alleviation of the steel has not yet reached ideal level due to some impracticability and cost implications in using the SCC control methods in many cases, and no better alternative material has been found for the steel. Only few research inputs on the numerous environmental types that the steel can be in service contact with are found in the literatures for its SCC alleviation. Improving practicability and versatility of the existing SCC alleviation methods and optimization of SCC-susceptibility test information of the steel from much larger number of the environmental types and their various levels of combinations are deemed needful towards ideal SCC alleviation of the steel
