The traditional material choice for subsea bolting applications with cathodic protection (CP) has been high strength low alloy steels. These steels provide acceptable performance up to yield strengths of 140 ksi (965 MPa) and a maximum hardness of 34 HRC. Development of deepwater fields has required larger size and higher strength fasteners than those that have been typically used for subsea applications. This has necessitated the use of alternative materials with higher yield strengths to prevent costly failures due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Nickel-based alloys such as UNS N07718 have been one alternative material choice for these applications. In-service failures of fasteners made from UNS N07718 subjected to cathodic protection have been reported. Prior to use in service these alloys were tested using constant load and double-cantilever beam (DCB) specimens. The in-service failures indicate that the factors necessary for failure were not simulated in the constant load and DCB tests. Dynamic strain tests such as fracture toughness tests have produced cracking in hydrogen charged conditions. This paper discusses the Phase 1 results of an on-going joint industry project to evaluate the susceptibility of nickel based alloys to hydrogen assisted cracking under conditions of seawater with CP. Testing in Phase 1 focused on comparing dynamic strain test methods including slow-strain rate testing cyclic slow-strain rate testing fracture toughness and step-loaded fracture testing. The results produced by these test methods are compared to determine an accelerated test technique for evaluating susceptibility to hydrogen assisted cracking in seawater with CP conditions.
