Steel bars used in pre-stressed concrete structures are constantly subjected to tensile stress, and some steel bars have been reported to fracture due to hydrogen embrittlement. It is important to know the hydrogen embrittlement behavior in steel bars to prevent fracture.

Cathodic charging in a solution containing ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) is commonly used to absorb hydrogen into a specimen in accelerated hydrogen embrittlement tests. However, the temperature dependence of hydrogen content in a specimen absorbed by cathodic charging in a solution containing NH4SCN has not been clarified. In this study, we evaluated the temperature dependence of saturated hydrogen content Cs by thermal desorption analysis, and it was found that Cs decreased as the temperature increased at a cathodic current density ic of 5 and 10 A/m2 and increased as the temperature increased at a ic of 100 A/m2. We also analyzed the hydrogen evolution reaction by fitting cathodic polarization curves, and it was found that the equilibrium constant of the hydrogen absorption-adsorption reaction K was almost constant regardless of temperature, while the changes in surface hydrogen coverage θ were in good agreement with the changes in Cs. Therefore, the changes in Cs can be explained as mainly due to the changes in θ.

The production of heavy oil or bitumen depends upon continuous steam injection to fluidize the oil in the formation. Most of the boilers used in steam generation to enhance oil production are gas-powered once-through-steam-generation (OTSG), because OTSG’s can tolerate hard water and are relatively easy to maintain. Since an approximate 80% of feedwater is vaporized in a single pass, silica/silicate scales could form in the OTSG boiler if the silica content in the feedwater is not well controlled.

Scaling is an important factor affecting oilfield production. The main reasons for scale formation are usually either the mixing of incompatible waters in production flow systems, for example, a formation of brine and seawater injected for maintaining downhole pressure, or changing the
reservoir conditions such as temperature, pressure, and brine pH, among others1,2. Carbonate scaling is dependent upon the equilibrium between bicarbonate, carbonate, and carbon dioxide relative to changes in the temperature and pressure3,4. Scale can deposit on almost any surface,
so that, once a scale layer is formed, it will continue to become thicker unless treated. Scale can block pore throats in the near-well bore region or in the well itself, causing formation damage and loss of well productivity.

This paper presents work in follow-up to the previous study. It is focused on UNS1 N07718, UNS N09925, UNS N07725 and UNS N09946. A series of incremental step load tests of compact tensile specimens were conducted to measure the fracture toughness during testing and cracking was monitored by the Electric Crack Growth Monitoring technique. A new engineering technique, referred to as statistical fractography, was used to investigate the fracture surface morphology and extract from it the fracture properties of the alloys.
