Abstract

ABSTRACT The susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement of supermartensitic stainless steel (S13Cr), martensitic-ferritic stainless steel (17Cr), carbon steel (P110) and austenitic-ferritic stainless steels (2205 and 2507) was evaluated by slow strain rate tests using a modified NACE TM-0177 solution, with 10–3M NaS2O3 substituting the saturated H2S standard solution. Tests were conducted at 25°C, pH 2.7 and under galvanostatic polarisation with a cathodic charging of 10 mA/cm2. S13Cr, 17Cr, P110 and 2507 steels were susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement inthiosulphate, with S13Cr and 17Cr being the most sensitive to this mechanism, while 2205 showed no sign of ductility loss. This harmful effect was attributed to the hydrogen sulphide generated from thiosulphate.
