Corrosion of Weldments

Corrosion of Weldments provides an understanding of the causes and forms of weld corrosion and the methods used to monitor and control it. It explains how welding influences the microstructure and corrosion behaviors of carbon and low-alloy steels, stainless steels, nickel-base and other nonferrous alloys, and dissimilar metal welds. It identifies the factors that contribute to corrosion-related failures of welds and describes the underlying damage mechanisms. It presents case histories documenting corrosion problems in oil and gas, chemical processing, pulp and paper, and other industries and the challenges associated with high-temperature environments. It also covers corrosion monitoring and testing methods and provides insights on making weldments more corrosion resistant.

Low cycle fatigue life of carbon and low alloy steels reduces remarkably as functions of strain rate, temperature, dissolved oxygen and sulfur in steel in high temperature water simulating LWR coolant. A model for predicting such fatigue life reduction was first proposed in the early 1980s and since then has been revised several times. The existing model established in 2000 is used for the MITI Guideline [6] and the TENPES Guideline [7] which stipulate procedures for evaluating environmental fatigue damage at LWR plants in Japan. This paper presents the most recent environmental fatigue evaluation model derived based on additional fatigue data provided by the EFT Project over the past five years. This model differs not significantly with previous version but does provide more accurate equations for the susceptibility of fatigue life to sulfur in steel, strain rate, temperature and dissolved oxygen. Test data on environmental fatigue of nickel base alloys are available only to a limited extent and there is yet no model for predicting fatigue life reduction in such an environment. The EFT Project has made available considerable environmental fatigue test data and developed a new model for calculating Fen of nickel base alloys. The contribution of environment to fatigue of nickel base alloy is much less compared to that in austenitic stainless steel.

One of the most perplexing problems that confronts the designer of citrus processing machinery and equipment is that of corrosion resistance. Citrus waste product, pulp, and juice have a citric acid content of around 2.7% by weight which will quickly destroy paint or lacquer finishes and will rapidly corrode carbon or low alloy steels. Only the highly alloyed chromium nickel steels, monel, inconel, pure nickel, some of the bronzes, tin and copper can withstand the corrosive attack of citrus juice and pulp.

Nickel additions to low alloy steels improve mechanical and technological properties. However, Part 2 of ISO Standard 15156 limits the nickel content to a maximum of 1 wt% in oil and gas environments containing H2S because of controversial concerns regarding sulfide stress cracking. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of nickel in solid solution in the ferrite phase on hydrogen stress cracking resistance. Ferritic/pearlitic research-grade low alloy steels with nominal nickel contents of 0, 1, 2, and 3 wt% were tested by the slow strain rate test method with cathodic hydrogen charging to −1.05 VAg/AgCl and −2 VAg/AgCl. No difference in fracture mode or morphology was found between the alloys. However, the plastic elongation ratios and reduction in area ratios decreased with increasing nickel content when tested at −2 VAg/AgCl. The direct and indirect effects of nickel, such as the influence of an increasing fraction of pearlite with increasing nickel content, are discussed.
