SA-354 or SA-540 good for sub-sea?
(OP)
Anyone have any experience with using SA-354 or SA-540 bolts for subsea hydrocarbon P/L service? Would chloride stress cracking, cad plating, saltwater, or brittleness be an issue? We are looking for an alternative to a 193-B7 stud, we need 29-30 ksi allowable, 3 1/2" Dia.
