The slow-strain-rate (SSR) test technique was used to evaluate the susceptibility of Titanium (Ti) Gr-7 (UNS R52400) and Ti Gr-12 (UNS R53400) to hydrogen-induced-cracking (HIC) and/or stress corrosion cracking (SCC). The tests were conducted in a deaerated 90°C acidic brine (pH ~, 2.7) containing 5 weight percent (wt%) sodium chloride (NaCl) using a strain rate...
