Hot isostatically pressed (HIP) and forged duplex stainless steels are both candidate materials for subsea components. In the present study, the resistance towards hydrogen induced stress cracking (HISC) of these materials has been compared. Testing was performed by four-point bending of fatigue pre-cracked SENB (single edge notch bend) specimens polarised to -1050 mV vs. SCE in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at 4 °C. The specimens were loaded to different crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) values for a maximum duration of 30 days. Three HIP materials, one duplex steel (DSS, UNS S31803) and two super duplex steels (SDSS, UNS S32550 and UNS S32760) were investigated and compared to a forged SDSS material (UNS S32760). For the HIP materials no cracking was detected for specimens loaded at CTOD levels lower than 0.06 mm, while some slight cracking was observed for a CTOD of 0.08 mm. The CTOD threshold value for HISC thus appears to be in the range from 0.06 to 0.08 mm for these materials. The forged SDSS material on the other hand showed significant cracking at CTOD levels above 0.03 mm, while no cracking was observed at CTOD levels below 0.016 mm. The testing thus demonstrates the improved resistance towards HISC for the HIP materials.

It has been important for the oil industry to establish reliable test method(s) for qualification and safe utilization of subsea pipelines and components made from stainless steels. This paper describes a method that has been developed through a JIP executed with support from leading oil companies and meterial suppliers.p

Experience has shown that stainless steels can suffer from Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking (HISC) under cathodic protection in seawater.  This paper presents results from a test program examining the HISC susceptibility of 25% Cr super duplex stainless steel (UNS S32750) at temperatures up to 1500C.
