Description

A study of the sulphide stress corrosion cracking resistance at room temperature of API 5L Cr B and X60 pipeline steels has been carried out. The theoretical mechanisms in order to explain these phenomena and several operational failures of pipeline steel due to SSCC have been reviewed and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) standard concerning SSCC has been described. The main factors of influence of the SSCC have been analysed, results are presented and conclusions are elaborated. (Author) 32 ref
