The threshold hydrogen content of a material regarding hydrogen embrittlement plays an increasingly important role in corrosion research. This value indicates the hydrogen content to which the material can be used without failure. However, when determining the threshold hydrogen content, different test methods, different analysis methods and different interpretations of the results come together. This paper is intended to provide a guideline for the determination of the critical hydrogen concentration of high strength steel wire samples.

The resistance of steel wires to hydrogen embrittlement is very difficult to define and is therefore rarely investigated in literature. In this work a C65 steel wire was tested in hot rolled condition and after cold working. Both material states were first cathodically charged in sodium chloride (NaCl) with addition of thiourea (CH4N2S) at different current densities to determine the hydrogen content of each charging condition. In the next step mechanical properties and susceptibility to hydrogen induced stress corrosion cracking (HISCC) were determined in Slow Strain Rate Tests (SSRT). To prevent hydrogen effusion during experiments, samples were additionally further charged during the SSRT. Critical hydrogen concentrations for initiation of HISCC of both material states have been determined, whereas the critical
hydrogen concentration is lower in the hot rolled state.

Improving Hydrogen Embrittlement Resistance Of Precipitation Hardened Nickel-Alloys

Precipitation hardened (PH) Ni-alloys are widely used in the oil and gas industry since they provide an excellent combination of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Their use in the manufacture of API1 6A pressure-containing and pressure-controlling components is subject to the stringent requirements of specification API Standard 6ACRA. However, matching the requirements of API Standard 6ACRA does not preclude susceptibility of some PH Ni-alloys to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and this in some cases has led to premature and unexpected failures of components made from such
materials.(

In this paper, a case study is presented for a marine structure for which modelling has been used to predict the protection potentials over the life of the structure.

The aim of any digital transformation of integrity management and in particular corrosion control is the improvement of communication efficiency, planning efficiency and maintenance efficiency. Key issues are predictive maintenance and clarity of the information available so engineers can make informed decisions. Therefore it is not just a question of collecting more information but also the way that information is used and shared with the decision-makers.

An unexpected failure of 316L Stainless Steel instrument tubing occurred in a high pressure Hydroprocessing unit resulting in a shutdown of the unit. The tubing system consisted of a compression type fitting commonly used in instrument systems and had only been in service for 3 years when the failure occurred. The failed tubing samples were removed for metallurgical analysis and determination of damage mechanism.   

Metallurgical analysis and finite element analysis of the tubing identified excessive cold working leading to hydrogen embrittlement as the primary mode of failure. This paper details the investigation into the failure to arrive at the root cause and the preventive measures adopted to assess the installed population of tubing in similar service.
