Case Study: Stress corrosion cracking of sensitized

austenitic stainless steels in Kuwait

petroleum refineries – Result-

the polythionic acid is the primary contributory agent for cracking

Types 304 and 316 stainless steel are unsuitable for longterm

exposure in sulfide service above 4008C because of sensitization.

sensitization evidently accelerates SCC and causes cracking to

occur easily

The present investigation was done in a short period (45 days)

for different grades of sensitized stainless steel where cracking and

severe SCC occurred.
