Stress corrosion cracking of 13Cr steels in CO2-H2S-Cl- environments

  • 1. Kawasaki Steel Corporation, Research Laboratories, 1-Kawasaki-cho, Chiba

Description

SCC behavior of two type 13Cr steels was investigated in aqueous CO2/H2S environments. The 13Cr steels were less resistant to SCC in CO2/H2S environments than low alloy steels, but some 13Cr steels were not subject to SCC even at a hydrogen sulfide partial pressure of 0.3 atm. Further, it was found that SCC in a CO2/H2S environment was caused by hydrogen embrittlement and that the SCC susceptibility of 13Cr steels was affected by their intergranular cracking behavior. Thus, their microstructures and carbide dispersions are important factors to SCC susceptibility of 13Cr steels
