Use of SS above maximum operational temperature and SCC
Use of SS above maximum operational temperature and SCC
(OP)
Hi,
I am currently working with material selection for a topside platform. From our process engineers, we have received an interesting question regarding time above the maximum operational temperature and danger for (Chloride-induced)SCC.
In NORSOK M-001 it is specified that the maximum temperature limit to avoid SCC for SS 6Mo, is 120*C. However, it is often said in various material selection reports that it is OK to be above this temperature in short periods of time. The question I got from the process engineers is: how long is a short period of time, in the above case.
Any input?

RE: Use of SS above maximum operational temperature and SCC
If it is long enough to initiate corrosion then you may have SCC.
Hours could be serious problems.
