The effect of SRB and applied potential on the stress corrosion sensitivity of X80 pipeline steel was analyzed in high-pH soil simulated solution under different conditions using a slow strain rate tensile test, electrochemical test, and electronic microanalysis. The experimental results showed that X80 pipeline steel has a certain degree of SCC sensitivity in high-pH simulated solution, and the crack growth mode was trans-granular stress corrosion cracking. In a sterile environment, the SCC mechanism of X80 steel was a mixture mechanism of anode dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement at −850 mV potential, while X80 steel had the lowest SCC sensitivity due to the weak effect of AD and HE; after Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) were inoculated, the SCC mechanism of X80 steel was an AD–membrane rupture mechanism at −850 mV potential. The synergistic effect of Cl− and SRB formed an oxygen concentration cell and an acidification microenvironment in the pitting corrosion pit, and this promoted the formation of pitting corrosion which induced crack nucleation, thus significantly improving the SCC sensitivity of X80 steel. The strong cathodic polarization promoted the local corrosion caused by SRB metabolism in the presence of bacteria, whereby the SCC sensitivity in the presence of bacteria was higher than that in sterile conditions under strong cathodic potential.

The influence weights of various sensitive factors, such as steel grade, applied potential, temperature and soil environment, on stress corrosion cracking behavior of high-grade pipeline steel were studied by means of orthogonal test at mixed level and slow strain rate test. The stress corrosion behavior of X80 pipeline steel in near neutral and high pH simulated soil solution under overprotection potential was observed by SEM. The results showed that the applied potential has the greatest weight on stress corrosion index of ISSRT, followed by temperature, steel grade and soil environment. X80 pipeline steel exhibits high stress corrosion sensitivity in near-neutral and high pH simulated soil solutions at applied potential of -1500mV, and its SCC mechanism is hydrogen embrittlement (HE). This study can provide guidance for practical engineering application of pipeline steel.

The stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of X80 pipeline steel was investigated in a simulated soil solution using slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests. The different potentials were applied in the tests. The fracture surfaces were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X80 steel was susceptible to SCC in simulated solution. The SCC susceptibility had no apparent change with the anodic potentials applied. The fracture mechanism was anodic dissolution. However, the SCC susceptibility increased with the decrease of the cathodic potentials obviously. The cracking was induced by the Hydrogen diffusing into the metal.

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of X80 pipeline steel, which was used in the Second West-East Gas Pipeline, was investigated in simulated soil solution of Xinzhou in Hubei province of China. The SCC susceptibility was studied using the slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests in which different potentials were applied. The fracture surfaces were observed using SEM. X80 steel was susceptible to SCC in simulated solution. The SCC was not serious with the anodic potentials applied. The fracture mechanism was anodic dissolution. But the SCC was affected obviously with different cathodic potentials because of the different influence of the hydrogen.
