An investigation was conducted to characterize the corrosion behavior of Type 316L stainless steel (UNS S31603) in a sulphamic acid (NH2HSO3) cleaning solution.
An investigation was conducted to characterize the corrosion behavior of Type 316L stainless steel (UNS S31603) in a sulphamic acid (NH2HSO3) cleaning solution. Corrosion and electrochemical testing confirmed that the leak failure of Type 316L stainless steel pipe spool removed from a NH2HSO3 cleaning system was caused by general corrosion, which involved hydrogen gas evolution as the dominant cathodic process. Furthermore, it was found that failure recurrence can likely be avoided by the use of an appropriate corrosion inhibitor. In this study a commercial inhibitor “A” was very effective in reducing the corrosion rate of both non-welded and welded Type 316L stainless steel in the acid cleaning condition under study.

Sulfuric acid is one of the most important elementary substances of the chemical industry. There is no stainless steel or even a nickel base alloy available which is suitable over the entire concentration range. This paper will give corrosion data in up to 75 % sulfuric acid at boiling temperature for various commercial grades as well as for some new developmental alloys.

This paper describes a series of tests on two grades of stainless steels UNS S31600 (AISI 316) and UNS S66286 (ASTM A453 Gr. 660– Alloy A286) in simulated H2S-contining oil and gas service environments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate these materials for stress corrosion cracking.
Assessment of sigma phase embrittlement in austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304H, commonly used in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units. Other austenitic stainless steels used in other refining process units are also discussed. The detection and measuring of the amount of sigma phase were made using metallography.
