摘要
Threshold hydrogen concentration (C(th)H) and threshold pH (pH(th)) for hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) were determined for commercial sour service linepipe steels exposed to H2S-saturated buffer solutions. Metallographic examination of the steel samples by optical and electron microscopy showed that ultrasonic C-scan is an effective method for detecting HIC and for locating cracks in exposed steel coupons. A banded microstructure was found to be detrimental to the HIC resistance of clean steels. The obtained pH(th) values can be used to rank the steels with respect to HIC resistance.
