Stress Corrosion Cracking
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a cracking phenomenon that is crucial to consider when working with specialty alloys. SCC is often associated with chlorides but can also occur with exposure to caustic and other corrosive media. The most common type of stress corrosion cracking in stainless steels occurs in chloride environments, which will be the focus of this discussion.
Hydrogen Sulfide – NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 & NACE MR0103
Hydrogen Sulfide -MR0175/ISO 15156 & MR0103 NACE International has developed two significant standards relative to the use of materials in hydrogen sulfide-bearing environments. MR0175/ISO 15156, Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries – Materials for use in H2S-containing Environments in Oil and Gas Production; and MR0103, Materials Resistant to Sulfide Stress Cracking in Corrosive Petroleum Refining Environments.

How Stainless Steel Rusts
How Stainless Steel Rusts All grades of stainless steel contain a minimum of 10.5% chromium within their chemical composition which allows for them to form a continuous protective oxide layer along their surface. This oxide layer is what makes stainless steel resistant to rusting and other forms of corrosion. Although stainless steel has this protective […]
