- Evaluate the susceptibility to sulfide stress corrosion cracking of both high strength low alloy carbon steels in sour service conditions as well as low yield point high ductile steels.
- Provide a consistent and reliable method to predict the threshold stress which initiates cracking (KISSCC). This parameter that can be used to quantify the susceptibility to cracking.
- Perform materials chemical composition characterization and imaging (EDS, WDS and ICPMS).
