NOTE:
Corrosion Resistance
NOTE
1. Low-temperature H2 attack can cause cracking.
2. Higher temperature H2 attack causes through-thickness strength loss an
irreversible.
3. H2 attack is a function of H2 partial pressure and design temperature.
• Increased alloy content (i.e., Cr) increases H2 attack resistance.
• Reference API-941 for “Nelson Curves.”
• Brittle fracture
✓ Typically at “low” temperature
✓ Can occur below design pressure
✓ No yielding before complete failure
Temperatures to Consider
▪ Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT)
✓ Lowest temperature at which component has adequate
fracture toughness
Fabricability
• Ease of construction
Exercise 1 – Solution
• Must assume SA-516 Gr. 70 not normalized.
Therefore, Curve B material (Ref. Table 3.1).
