AN OBSERVATION ON METALLURGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING
HYDROGEN AND SULFIDE INDUCED STRESS CRACKING OF
PIPELINE STEELS
Abstract
The effect of metallurgical parameters
influencing the susceptibility of
the steel grades, used for gas and oil
pipe, to hydrogen induced cracking and
sulfide stress corrosion cracking has
been studied.
The study of the recent investigations
suggests that the shape and the
nature of inclusions, microstructures,
sulfur content and desulfurization as
well as the nature of alloying elements
in steel (i.e.Cu,Ni,Ca and cr) has a
noticeable influence on HIC and SSCC
of pipeline steels. Also steels with
spheroidal Manganeese sulfide inclusions
are less susceptible to HIC and SSCC
than those of long shape one. Semi
Killed steel is more resistant to HIC
than fully killed steel
