Composition optimization of high-strength steels for sulfide stress cracking resistance improvement

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a slight modification of the composition of a standard grade has been studied in order to improve the behavior of high-strength steels for drill collars in sour environment.

Cold work effects on sulfide stress cracking of pipeline steel exposed to sour environments

TL;DR: In this article, cold-work effects on sulfide stress cracking of a pipeline steel were examined for exposure to a sour gas environment, and it was found that cold worked steel was sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement.

Sulfide stress cracking of nickel-containing low-alloy steels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the advantages and dis-advantages of nickel-containing low-alloy steels in terms of strength, weldability, hardenability, potential weight savings, and cost reduction.

The effect of slow plastic and elastic straining on sulphide stress cracking and hydrogen embrittlement of 3.5% Ni steel and API 5L X60 pipeline steel☆

TL;DR: In this article, the roles of elastic and elastic-plastic straining in stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) can be determined, based on comparison of the results of a normal elasticplastic slow-strain rate test with those of a purely elastic slow strain rate test, and an appropriate test method for further quantification of the SCC susceptibility can be selected, e.g. dynamic tests involving plastic straining or static tests.

The effect of nickel content on the environmental assisted cracking (EAC) behaviour of low alloy steels in sour environments―a review

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nickel level on the susceptibility to environmental assisted cracking (EAC) of low alloy steels are discussed. But, the effect of nickel on low Alloy steels appears to be in reducing the Ac1 (thus producing untempered martensite when tempered at high temperatures), decreasing the lattice diffusion of hydrogen, enhancing formation of surface trenches and reducing the overall corrosion rate.
