Domain Diagrams for the Sulfide Stress Cracking Resistance of High Strength Low Alloy steel 41xx Bar Stocks

Product Number: 51320-14590-SG

Author: Vipul Shinde, Manuel Marya

Publication Date: 2020

High-strength low-alloy steel bar stocks with 110ksi (758MPa) and 125ksi (862MPa) specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) are in demand for temporary and permanent downhole tools for sour service. NACE MR0175/ISO15156 currently allows the use of low-alloy steel bar stocks without any environmental restrictions up to 22HRC, which, by most specifications, corresponds to 80ksi (552MPa) SMYS. At higher SMYS, and with exclusions of API and proprietary sour tubular grades, NACE MR0175/ISO15156 does not address solid bar stocks, a gap and opportunity addressed by this investigation. Specifically, in this paper, the sulfide-stress cracking (SSC) of commercial UNS G41xxx (41xx) alloys, including 41xxMod (i.e., carefully selected or mill modified) is investigated following a series of NACE TM0177 Method A tests in either Solution B or A (NACE Region 3). Domain diagrams for 41xx alloys are disclosed, all demonstrating that 41xx solid bar stocks are SSC resistant above 150°F (66°C) when under a new and improved specification. When SMYS is raised to 125ksi (862MPa) with 34HRC max, a safe minimum temperature of 175°F (79.5°C) is confirmed for hollow bars, well in line with current NACE MR0175/ISO15156. The metallurgical and hardness requirements of 41xx alloys are also briefly discussed, along with opportunities for further modifications of 41xx bar stocks.

From Pits To Cracks: A Review Of 45-Years Of Published Research On Surface Trenches In Low Alloy Steels Exposed To H2S-Containing Environments

Product Number: 51322-17957-SG

Publication Date: 2022

Carbon and low alloy steels (CS and LAS, respectively) used for exploration and production in the oil and gas (O&G) industry are normally exposed to environments that may contain H₂S in a wide range of concentrations. In aqueous solutions, H₂S acts as a cathodic poison.^1,2 A cathodic poison inhibits the recombination of atomic hydrogen to H₂, and as a result, favors its absorption by the metal.^1,2 In the presence of a susceptible microstructure and the simultaneous effect of applied or residual tensile stress, a crack can nucleate and propagate, when a critical concentration of hydrogen is reached in the metal.³ This environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) phenomenon is known as Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC).² SSC is commonly addressed as a case of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) damage.²

Naturally Buffered Iron Chloride Containing Solutions for SSC Tests of Low Alloy Steels

Product Number: 51324-20732-SG

Author: Florian Thebault; Hervé Marchebois

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Addition of controlled quantity of iron (II) chloride (FeCl2) in a test solution allows a tight control of the pH of Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) tests for low alloy steels. The natural buffering capacity is a consequence of the precipitation of iron sulfide corrosion products at a very early stage during the corrosion test. This work shows that FeCl2 can efficiently replace acetic acid for pH buffering of the SSC tests. NACE TM0177 Method A and D tests have been performed and showed similar environmental severity for SSC compared to standardized test solutions at a given pH. Thanks to a reduction of the corrosion rate in FeCl2 containing environments, which limits the increase of the applied stress during the test, the environmental severity appears to be fairly evaluated. Iron sulfide scale characterization and failure observations support the conclusion that FeCl2 containing solutions do not modify the SSC corrosion mechanism. This alternative test solution is well adapted to the determination of threshold pH for SSC.

Over the past twenty years, additive manufacturing (AM) has gradually emerged as an important commercial manufacturing technology for the production of components, particularly complex and highvalue metallic components. AM enables the layer-by-layer rapid manufacturing of near-net shapes using 3D computer-aided design data and typically minimizes raw-material wastes.

Sulfide-Stress Cracking Threshold Stresses and Operational Limits for the Safe Use of UNS S17400 (17–4PH) in Oilfield Services

Product Number: 51320-14431-SG

Author: Manuel Marya

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Stainless steel UNS S17400 (17-4PH) has been successfully used in oilfield services outside the traditional NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 limits for permanent equipment. The exact operational envelops of 17-4PH (HH1150), including the tensile threshold stress, sour gas partial pressure, temperature, and exposure time that enable the crack-free usage of 17-4PH (HH1150) are not well established. For service equipment, NACE MR0175/ISO15156 currently provides exemptions from the tight environmental restrictions of permanent equipment, but instead limits the maximum applied stress to a debatable 60% of the specified minimum yield strength (SMYS). In this investigation, the sulfide stress-corrosion cracking of 17-4PH is revisited through 51 new NACE TM0177 Methods A tests conducted over 240 hours minimum (480hrs in certain cases). Under unrestricted sour gas partial pressures, the threshold tensile stress below which cracking does not occur is between 45% and 60% of the SMYS at ambient temperature. Alloy 17-4PH is also less susceptible to sulfide stress cracking as temperature increases from 70°F (21°C) to 350°F (177°C). Risk of sulfide stress cracking is also greatly mitigated when delta ferrite is controlled. With reduced delta ferrite, as provided by two out of three tested heats, and reverted austenite promoted by both chemical composition and longer aging treatments, no cracking is seen at 60% stress level up to 45psi H2S (0.31MPa); at 45% stress level, this value is increased to 120psi (0.83MPa) based on newly-collected test data.

The Influence of Electrochemical Potential and Stress-Level on Trench Nucleation on Ni-Bearing Low Alloy Steels in Sour Environments

The presence of trenches on low alloy steels (LAS) in sour environments at the open circuit potential (OCP) has been reported since 1977. Originally, they were classified as deep and elongated localized corrosion pits. Recently, many authors have referred to them as “stress-induced grooves.
