Atomic hydrogen can enter metallic microstructures from deposition processes like Cr plating or phosphatizing, chemical and electrochemical pickling treatments, during welding operations if the humidity of consumables is too high, by cathodic processes resulting from corrosion phenomena or contact with high pressure gaseous hydrogen. According to different chemical-physical mechanisms, atomic hydrogen can enter the metallic structure resulting in damages of various forms, such as HIC (hydrogen induced cracking), SOHIC (stress oriented HIC), delayed fracture and hydrogen embrittlement (HE).

The current energy demand and the need to contain carbon dioxide emissions require the adoption of new energy vectors. Based on that, a progressively increasing percentage of gaseous hydrogen will be filled inside natural gas transportation pipeline systems, thus requiring a rigorous material compatibility assessment. It is well known how carbon and low alloy steels, may suffer hydrogen damage and hydrogen embrittlement, resulting in the reduction of toughness and ductility. The present study has been carried out in order to compare three different electrochemical methods to charge H into low-alloy steels (ASTM A 182 F22 and AISI 4140) samples presenting typical dimensions used for fracture mechanics tests. The study of the effect of different H recombination poisoners indicated As2O3 as the preferable choice in terms of H content and reproducibility.

In the recent years, Horizontal Directional Drilling - HDD - became a real improvement for pipeline construction when crossing obstacles such as rivers, roads or railways. For the corrosion protection of the carbon steel pipeline, a protective coating is associated with cathodic protection. But for trenchless techniques, the coating shall withstand the stresses from the installation. Several standards are used to specify corrosion protection coatings for buried pipelines but those documents do not cover the specific conditions of an HDD.

The service life of current offshore platform coatings are normally less than 10 years. It is very expensive ($100/ft2) to rehabilitate the offshore platform coatings in the field. Therefore, facility owners are very anxious to select the long-life coatings. The candidate coatings are normally tested in the lab following the ISO 12944-91 or the AMPP TM216122 standard.

Bulk items such as cast and forged valves are installed under various temperature conditions. It is exposed to a wide range of temperatures, therefore the coating product applied to bulk items should have appropriate heat resistance performance. However, it is very difficult to select a suitable coating system since the temperature condition is not determined in the valve manufacturing stage. For this reason, unsuitable coating systems are often applied, causing coating defects in the field operation. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a coating system that can cover a wide temperature range to prevent this problem.
