Corrosion

This is defined as chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material,usually a metal and its environment that produces a deterioration of the materialand its properties.



Crevices corrosion : Localized corrosion of a metal surface at ,or immediately adjacent to, an

area that is shielded from full exposure to the environment because of close proximity between

the metal and the surface of another material

Pitting: Forming small sharp cavities in surface due to localized corrosion, wear or any other mechanically

assisted degradation.

Inter-granular corrosion: Corrosion occurring preferentially at grain boundaries, usually with slight or

negligible attack on adjacent grain.

Selective leaching: Corrosion in which one element is preferentially removed from an alloy ,leaving a residue

(often porous) of the elements that are more resistant to the particular environment (decarburization,

decobaltification, denickelification , dezincification and graphitic corrosion)

.Erosion corrosion: A conjoint action involving corrosion & erosion in the presence of a moving corrosive fluid,

leading to accelerated loss of material.

Stress corrosion: Preferential attack of areas under stress in a corrosive environment, where such an

environment alone could not have caused corrosion.

.Hydrogen damage: In the presence of hydrogen environment in certain material hydrogen induced

embrittlement, cracking & blistering occurs this is called hydrogen damage.

Uniform attack: In this form of corrosion the corrosion proceeds at the same rate over the metal surface.



The Basics of Sulfide Stress Cracking

Sulfide -stress cracking is basically a hydrogen-embrittlement phenomenon .Atomic hydrogen enters the steel to

cause cracking. The hydrogen is generated on the surface of the steel because of a corrosion reaction. Iron

reacts with h2s to form iron sulfide and hydrogen .This hydrogen is generated in atomic form on the steel surface

,where it can either combine to form molecular hydrogen and leave the surface as bubbles or diffuse into steel

.This latter process may result in hydrogen embrittlement .Hydrogen sulfide prevents hydrogen recombination &

thus promote entry of atomic hydrogen into steel .It is important to note that water must be present for this

mechanism to occur ;without it SSC will not be observed ,because the ionization of the hydrogen sulfide is

required.

SSC develops in aqueous solutions as corrosion takes place on the surface of a material. Hydrogen ions

are a product of many corrosion processes. These ions pick up electrons from the base material producing

hydrogen atoms. At that point, two hydrogen atoms may combine to form a hydrogen molecule. Most molecules

will eventually collects, for hydrogen bubbles and float away harmlessly. However, some percentage of the

hydrogen atoms will diffuse into the base metal and embrittle the crystalline structure. When a certain critical

concentration of hydrogen is reached and combined with a tensile stress exceeding a threshold level, SSC will

occur. H2S does not actively participate in the SSC reaction; however, sulfides act to promote the entry of the

hydrogen atoms into the base material.

In many instances, particularly among carbon and low alloy steels, the cracking will initiate and propagate along

the grain boundaries. This is called intergranular stress cracking. In other alloy systems or under certain specific

conditions, the cracking will propagate through the grains. This is called transgranular stress corrosion cracking.



PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE RATE OF SSC

— HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONCENTRATION

— Ph OF THE SOLUTION

— TEMPERATURE OF THE SOLUTION

— STRENGTH OF THE MATERIAL

—COLD WORK ON THE MATERIAL

—STRESS ON THE MATERIAL

NONFERROUS ALLOYS

• The nickel-base alloys are acceptable to a maximum hardness level of 35 HRC. All have

excellent resistance to SSC.

• Commonly used acceptable materials of nickel copper alloys MONEL 400,MONEL R405

M35-1 and M35-2 (cast alloy 400) and and the precipitation hardening alloy MONEL K500.

• The nickel chromium alloys include alloys INCONEL 600 and INCONEL X750).

• The acceptable nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys include alloys INCONEL625 ,

HASTEALLOY C276 and HASTEALLOYC ( cast alloy C). The precipitation hardening

grade INCONEL 718 is also acceptable to 40 HRC.

• Where high strength levels are required along with good machinability, valve

manufacturer uses N05500, N07718, N07750 or N07725 (alloy 725). They can be drilled

or turned, then age hardened.

• Several cobalt base materials are acceptable, including R30035 (alloy MP35N), R30003

(Elgiloy) and R30605 (Haynes 25‖ or L605).

•Aluminum base and copper alloys may be used for sour service, but the user is cautioned

that severe corrosion attack may occur on these materials. They are seldom used in direct

contact with H2S.

•Several wrought titanium grades are now included in MR0175. The only common

industrial alloy is wrought R50400 (grade 2). Cast titanium is not included in MR0175.

INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL DEVICE

•For instrumentation & control device component directly exposed to sour environments

shall be of materials as described above. However AISI Type SS316 Stainless steel

compression fittings and instrument tubing can be used though it does not satisfy the

hardness criteria as explained why explaining the austenitic stainless steel.



BOLTING

• The most commonly used fasteners for ―exposed‖ applications are ASTM A193 grade

B7M bolts and A194 grade 2M nuts. They are tempered and hardness tested versions

of the B7 and 2H grades. HRC 22 is the maximum allowable hardness.

•Many consultant (E.I.L) use only B7M bolting for bonnet, packing box, and flange

joints. This reduces the likelihood of SSC if a leak develops and goes undetected or

unrepaired for an extended time.

•Since B7M has lower strength using of this material requires pressure vessel de-rating.

Some vendors offers special S17400 double H1150 bolting at the full B7 rating to

overcome the de-rating problem.

•ENC(electrolyses nickel) coating is acceptable on pressure retaining and non pressure

retaining fasteners.

•As per EIL standard only below listed materials to be used for studs & nuts

.STUDS: ASTM A193 GR B7M/ASTM A320 GR L7M

.NUTS: ASTM A194 GR 2HM/ ASTM A194 GR 7M



COATINGS

Coatings, plating and overlays may be used provided the base metal is in a condition,

which is acceptable per MR0175. The coatings may not be used to protect a base material,

which is susceptible to SSC. Coatings commonly used in sour service are chromium

plating, electroless nickel (ENC) and nitriding. Overlays and castings commonly used

include CoCr-A (Stellite or carbide alloys are acceptable in the cast, cemented or thermally

sprayed conditions such as welding, silver brazing or spray metallizing systems. Ceramic

coatings such as plasma sprayed chromium oxide are also acceptable. However during this

above thermal procedure the substrate should not get heated up beyond critical temp. and

stress gets created. Valve manufacturer often uses ENC as a wear resistant coating. As

required by MR0175, it is applied only to acceptable base metals. ENC has excellent

corrosion resistance in sour, salt containing environments.

2 Ni-Cr-B ALLOYS AS IN A.W.S(American Welding Society) A5.13-80

3 Tungsten Carbide Alloys

4. CERAMICS

5 Ni-B ALLOYS



SPRINGS

Springs in compliance with NACE represent a difficult problem. To function properly,

springs must have very high strength (hardness) levels. Normal steel and stainless steel

springs would be very susceptible to SSC and fail to meet MR0175.

In general, very soft, low strength materials must be used. Of course, these materials

produce poor springs. The two exceptions allowed are the cobalt based alloys, such as

R30003 , which may be cold worked and hardened to a maximum hardness of 60 HRC

and alloy N07750 which is permitted to 50 HRC.



HEAT TREATMENTS

Stress Relieving

•Mainly intended for relieving locked in stresses in weld joints & cold working stresses in

base metal by heating the metal below critical temperature holding the constant temp. and

then cooling slowly.No change in microstructure.

•Many people have the misunderstanding that stress relieving following machining is

required by MR0175. Provided good machining practices are followed using sharp tools

and proper lubrication, the amount of cold work produced is negligible. SSC resistance will

not be affected.

MR0175 actually permits the cold rolling of threads, provided the component will meet the

heat treat conditions and hardness requirements specified for the given parent material.

Cold deformation processes such as burnishing are also acceptable. Below table gives the

details of temperature at which the metal has to be heated as per MR0175.(BASED ON

THICKNESSES ASME SECTION VIII HAS ALSO TO BE REFFERED )

Sno. MATERIAL TEMPERATURE DEG CEN.

1 CARBON STEEL 595 (min)

2 MARTENSITIC STEEL 620 (MIN)

3 LOW CARBON MARTENSIC STEEL 620 (MIN)

3 LOW CARBON MARTENSIC STEEL 620 (MIN)



ANNEALING

Annealing is a generic term denoting a treatment that consists of heating to and holding at

a suitable to a suitable temperature followed by cooling at an appropriate rate,primarily for

softening of metallic materials.As the hardness of steel increases during cold working,

ductility decreases and additional cold reduction becomes so difficult that the material

must be annealed to restore its ductility.In this procedure the heating is above the critical

temperature and due to this micro structure changes occur.



NORMALISING

Heating a ferrous alloy to a suitable temperature above the transformation range and then

cooling in air to a temperature substantially below transformation range. With this process

basically the steel microstructure is getting uniformly distributed and the mechanical

properties are changing (e.g. carbon steel normalization leads to higher strength )



SOLUTION ANNEALING

For stainless steel when heated chromium- carbide gets precipitated at the boundary of the

grains which in turns make the steel ineffective against corrosive attack. Above heat

treatment is done at temp. at1150 deg cel. And the temp. is brought below 300 deg cel.

within 3minutes by putting it into chloride free water.This process disintegrates chromium

carbide and chromium goes back into the steel.This heat treatment is mandatory for SS if

any hot operation is done on the steel.



CODES AND STANDARDS BESIDES MR-0175 TO BE USED FOR H2S SERVICE

Some related standards are given below which are related to MR0175.
