Low carbon martensitic stainless steels, called supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS), have widely been applied for flowlines transporting corrosive oil and gas. However, intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in girth welds of the steel has become a major concern recently. A number of research works have been conducted to clarify the mechanism and to establish the measures. The most likely mechanism of IGSCC is chromium depletion on grain boundazy because it is observed in lean grade SMSS, which contains no molybdenum. However, neither depletion nor carbide of chromium has been detected so far in 2-3% Mo-added high grade SMSS, although the steel suffers IGSCC under some conditions. In order to clarify the mechanism in high grade steel, effects of chemical components on IGSCC resistance were investigated. Simulated HAZ specimens with various conditions of thermal cycles were tested in hot acid environments by U-bend SCC test. The test results showed that reduction of carbon and addition of titanium are effective to improve the resistance to IGSCC. Both would inhibit to form chromium carbide that causes to chromium depletion. Therefore, it suggests that the mechanism of IGSCC in high grade SMSS is chromium depletion, as in lean grade.
