Laboratory testing to qualify several materials for high strength fastener applications for two projects has shown that, in the presence of cathodic protection, nickel alloys 718 and 725 offer the best resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and are available in the strength/size required for high pressure and moderate temperature applications for sub-sea applications.

In the present work, the corrosion resistance of carbon steel studs coated with Ni-Co, Cd, Zn, and Zn-Ni was tested and measured by electrochemical techniques and environmental exposure tests.
Materials properties that are used in specific oil and gas environments are de-rated due to the risks associated with hydrogen embrittlement cracking. In oil production environments the concern is for the onset of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), while in seawater environments the concern is for Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking (HISC). Both are hydrogen embrittlement phenomena with the distinction being the source of hydrogen for each. In SSC the source of hydrogen is from the presence of H2S in the oil production fluids, and in HISC the source of hydrogen is from the dissociation of water from the cathodic protection system. This paper is focused on the latter phenomena and aims to characterize the susceptibility of carbon alloy steels as applied in fastener applications, in a seawater environment under cathodic protection.
Transfer of Zn from hot-dipped and mechanically galvanized steel bolting to stainless steel by exposing a 304L stainless steel/Galvanized bolting assembly to temperatures in the range 205°C to 537°C for one hour to simulate an industrial fire scenario.
The Joint Operation (J.O) Wafra Oilfield is in the west central part of the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia Neutral Zone. The Wafra oilfield produces light and heavy oil and export it to its various customers after processing. Upstream field consists of various Sub Centres where crude, oil and water being separated, and the separated crude transported to the main gathering centre for further processing in two different trains. The produced water being disposed/injected via water disposal & injection facilities after treatment.

Aircraft reliability and maintainability are critical to their availability and operation. One of the biggest threats to aircraft availability is corrosion of aircraft systems. The annual cost of corrosion for Air Force aviation and missiles is estimated to be $5.67B dollars, or 23.6% of total maintenance costs for this equipment, and 2.1 million non-available hours. It is estimated that for defense acquisition programs 60 – 80% of the total life cycle cost is associated with the operation and support (O&S) phase.
The nuts of galvanized fasteners used on bridges are coated with a wax-based lubricant that contains a dye. Once installed, the fasteners are cleaned to remove the wax prior to painting. Cleaning is typically accomplished using a combination of solvents and hand tools, but questions are often raised as to how much residual dye on the surface is acceptable for painting.
There exists a need for environmentally benign coatings to eliminate cadmium and/or chromate coatings on high-strength fasteners. These alternative replacement coatings would provide high-strength, corrosion resistant fasteners for use in weapon systems.
