03518 STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF 304L STAINLESS STEEL IN SODIUM SULFIDE-CONTAINING CAUSTIC SOLUTIONS

Product Number: 51300-03518-SG

ISBN: 03518 2003 CP

Austenitic stainless steels are susceptible to caustic stress corrosion cracking (SCC) above 121°C. When sulfides are present in caustic solutions the SCC has been reported to occur at lower temperatures. This paper discusses a study of the role of sulfide in caustic solutions on SCC of austenitic stainless at T=~50°C.

03659 LIQUID METAL EMBRITTLEMENT OF ALLOY 800 HYDROGEN UNIT PREHEAT TUBES

Product Number: 51300-03659-SG

ISBN: 03659 2003 CP

Analysis of a UNS N08800 hydrogen unit preheat tube that failed in service. Based on chemical and metallographic analyses the failure was attributed to liquid metal embrittlement by zinc. The zinc source is thought to be the Cu/Zn catalyst for the low temperature shift converter located downstream of the preheat tubes.

In Nigeria, the majority of the oil/gas/liquids pipelines are 30 to 50 years old. Most of the pipes were laid on the surface. But these pipelines have become old, corroded and less effective. They fail due to corrosion induced leaks ( resulting from lack of pipeline integrity survey and inadequate corrosion monitoring program design ) as well as vandalism.

04192 Integrity Assessment of Pipeline Networks Through Close-Interval Potential Survey

Product Number: 51300-04192-SG

ISBN: 04192 2004 CP

Author: Jeremiah Emeka Mbamalu and Frederick Oba Edeko, University of Benin

Publication Date: 2004

$20.00

A close-interval potential (CIP) data survey on ~154 km of Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. This aim was to generate corrosion data to determine weak sections of the pipelines/flowlines and, to ascertain the effectiveness of the CP system and integrity of the Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. The pipeline networks were found safe for continued operation under its present condition.

In seawater, higher strength nickel-copper alloys are used as alternatives to copper alloys. These can be susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement in conditions where cathodic protection is utilized. Copper-Nickel-Tin alloys (CuNiSn) show low corrosion rates in the free and coupled conditions. Resistance to hydrogen embrittlement is demonstrated.

Traditionally, closed system treatment programs have involved adding corrosion inhibitor and
periodically testing for the residual. To be effective, these treatment programs must also
include cleaning. This paper will discuss the various aspects that should be evaluated as part of a closed system treatment program.

05232 Corrosion Resistance of UNS NO4400 vs. Electroless Nickel in Simulated Marine Service

Product Number: 51300-05232-SG

UNS N04400 cladding on steel valves can corrode during marine service. The uniform corrosion rate of an EN coating in artificial seawater was measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and was found to be less than that for N04400. The main conclusion is that an EN coating could be a viable solution to repair N04400-clad valves in-situ.
