12、ional i _ Foreword This standard addresses the testing of metals for resistance to cracking failure under the combined action of tensile stress and corrosion in aqueous environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This phenomenon is generally termed sulfide stress cracking (SSC) when operating at

13、 room temperature and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) when operating at higher temperatures. In recognition of the variation with temperature and with different materials this phenomenon is herein called environmental cracking (EC). For the purposes of this standard, EC includes only SSC, SCC, and h

14、ydrogen stress cracking (HSC). The primary purpose of this standard is to facilitate conformity in testing so that data from different sources can be compared on a common basis. Consequently, this standard aids the evaluation and selection of all types of metals and alloys, regardless of their form

15、or application, for service in H2S environments. This standard contains methods for testing metals using tensile, bent-beam, C-ring, and double-cantilever-beam (DCB) test specimens. Certain ASTM(1) standard test methods have been listed as references for supplementary tests, creating a comprehensive

16、 test method standard. In addition, the four-point bent-beam test method is also referenced as a supplementary test.1,2 This standard is intended for use by laboratory and materials personnel to facilitate conformity in testing. SSC of metals exposed to oilfield environments containing H2S was recog

17、nized as a materials failure problem by 1952. Laboratory data and field experience have demonstrated that even extremely low concentrations of H2S may be sufficient to lead to SSC failure of susceptible materials. In some cases, H2S can act synergistically with chlorides to produce corrosion and cra

18、cking (SSC and other mode) failures. However, laboratory and operating experiences have also indicated to materials engineers the optimum selection and specification of materials having minimum susceptibility to SSC. This standard covers test methods for SSC (at room temperature) and SCC (at elevate

19、d temperature), but other failure modes (e.g., hydrogen blistering, hydrogen-induced cracking HIC, chloride stress corrosion cracking SCC, pitting corrosion, and mass-loss corrosion) must also be considered when selecting materials for use in sour (H2S -containing) environments. The need for better

20、understanding of the variables involved in EC of metals in oilfield environments and better correlation of data has become apparent for several reasons. New design requirements by the oil and gas production industries call for higher-strength materials that, in general, are more susceptible to EC th

21、an lower-strength alloys. These design requirements have resulted in extensive development programs to obtain more resistant alloys and/or better heat treatments. At the same time, users in the petroleum refining and synthetic fuels industries are pushing present materials much closer to their mecha

22、nical limits. Room-temperature (SSC) failures in some alloys generally are believed to result from hydrogen embrittlement (HE). When hydrogen is cathodically evolved on the surface of a metal (as by corrosion or cathodic charging), the presence of H2S (and other compounds, such as those containing c

23、yanides and arsenic) tends to cause hydrogen atoms to enter the metal rather than to form hydrogen molecules that cannot enter the metal. In the metal, hydrogen atoms diffuse to regions of high triaxial tensile stress or to some microstructural configurations where they become trapped and decrease t

24、he ductility of the metal. Although there are several kinds of cracking damage that can occur in metals, delayed brittle fracture of metals resulting from the combined action of corrosion in an aqueous sulfide environment and tensile stresses (failure may occur at stresses far below the yield stress

25、) is the phenomenon known as SSC. In some cases, however, failure may be the result of localized anodic corrosion processes that may or may not involve hydrogen. In such instances, failure is the result of anodic stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Such failures have historically been termed SSC even t

26、hough their cause may not be hydrogen. This standard was originally published in 1977 by NACE International Task Group T-1F-9, a component of Unit Committee T-1F, “Metallurgy of Oilfield Equipment.” The standard was revised in 1986, 1990, and 1996 by Task Group T-1F-9. It was revised in 2005 and 201

40、e testing of metals subjected to tensile stresses for resistance to cracking failure in low-pH aqueous environments containing H2S. Carbon and low-alloy steels are commonly tested for EC resistance at room temperature where SSC susceptibility is typically high. For other types of alloys, the correla

41、tion of EC susceptibility with temperature is more complicated. 1.2 This standard describes reagents, test specimens, and equipment to use; discusses base material and test specimen properties; and specifies the test procedures to follow. This standard describes four test methods: Method AStandard T

42、ensile Test Method BStandard Bent-Beam Test Method CStandard C-Ring Test Method DStandard Double-Cantilever-Beam (DCB) Test Sections 1 through 7 of this standard give general comments that apply to all four test methods. Sections 8 through 11 indicate the test method to follow for each type of test

43、specimen. General guidelines to help to determine the suitability of each test method are given at the beginning of each test method description (Sections 8 through 11). Reporting of the test results is also discussed. 1.3 Metals can be tested for resistance to EC at temperatures and pressures that

44、are either ambient (atmospheric) or elevated. 1.3.1 For testing at ambient conditions, the test procedures can be summarized as follows: Stressed test specimens are immersed in acidified aqueous environments containing H2S. Applied loads at convenient increments can be used to obtain EC data. 1.3.2

45、For testing at temperatures higher than 27 C (80 F), at either atmospheric or elevated pressure, Section 7 describes an alternative test technique. All methods (A, B, C, and D) are adaptable to this technique. 1.4 This standard may be used for release or acceptance testing to ensure that the product

46、 meets a certain minimum level of EC resistance as prescribed in API(2) Specification 5CT,3 ISO(3) 11960,4 or as prescribed by the user or purchaser. This standard may also provide a quantitative measure of the products EC resistance for research or informational purposes. This rating may be based o

47、n: Method AThe highest no-failure uniaxial tensile stress in 720 hours. Method BThe statistically based critical stress factor (Sc) for a 50% probability of failure in 720 hours. Method CThe highest no-failure circumferential stress in 720 hours. Method DThe average KISSC (threshold stress intensity

48、 factor for SSC) for valid tests of replicate test specimens. 1.5 Safety Precautions: H2S is an extremely toxic gas that must be handled with care. (See Appendix A Nonmandatory).
