AISI 420/410 Modified Martensitic Stainless Steel bar Stock Materials Sulphide Stress Cracking (SSC) Resistance in Mildly Sour Environments

Martensitic Stainless Steel (SMSS) is widely used for downhole production tubing and liners in the Oil & Gas industry. Optimization of the tubular material chemistry, cleanliness and manufacturing route has delivered useful performance in H2S-containing environments (specifically SSC and stress corrosion cracking [SCC])3 resistance4,5,6. Some tubular accessories and most completion equipment require sizes not readily delivered by tubular product form. In these instances, bar stock material is a pragmatic choice.

UNSiii S41000 and UNS S42000 martensitic stainless steels bar stock alloys are often selected for downhole completion equipment due to their good performance in oil and gas environments. In accordance with the ISOiv 15156 / ANSIv NACEvi MR0175 Part 31 guidelines, UNS S41000 and UNS S42000 quenched and tempered to 22 HRC have a maximum ppH2S limit of 10 kPa (1.5 psi). For H2S levels exceeding 10 kPa (1.5 psi), the most common selection is precipitation hardened nickel alloys. Martensitic stainless steels are desirable as the lowest cost oil and gas corrosion resistant alloys and knowing their corrosion performance application windows for well construction materials is critical to their safe application. Similarly, it is possible that more stringent specification of these grades could extend their utility to more severe environments, decreasing reliance on PH-Ni alloys which are expensive and increase the lead time for equipment.
