Abstract: | Stress corrosion cracking behaviour of API-5L-X52 steel under cathodic protection in near-neutral and high pH conditions was studied using slow strain rate test method and electrochemical measurements. The slow strain rate test showed ductile and brittle fracture feature at low and high applied potentials, respectively. In order to identify the mechanism contributes in stress corrosion cracking; the electrochemical potentiodynamic polarisation test was done at fast and slow sweep rate. The results revealed that at near-neutral pH condition the anodic dissolution at crack tip was the dominant mechanism. While at high pH medium, the hydrogen based mechanism was dominant. |
