WHAT IS HIC RESISTANT STEEL PLATE?
HIC Resistant Steel Plate is used by boiler makers and fabricators when Hydrogen Induced Cracking is a big risk.
HIC (Hydrogen Induced Cracking) is the result of a corrosive reaction between carbon steel and hydrogen sulphide. Wet hydrogen sulphide (H2S) cracking in steel has been a problem in petroleum refining and upstream oil and gas processing since the 1950s. Working conditions where wet H2S prevails are often described as sour service conditions and the term sour gas can be also be used in this context. As more fields rich in H2S are exploited, and this is increasingly the case, the problem is increasingly significant for equipment fabricated in potentially sensitive carbon-manganese (C-Mn) steels
Steel in contact with water containing H2S will corrode producing hydrogen at its surface. H2S not only inhibits the formation of hydrogen gas, so reducing the opportunity for it to escape, but promotes its absorption in to the steel. At typical working temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius hydrogen atoms can become trapped causing embrittlement and ultimately cracking.
The use of steel pressure vessels in industries such as oil and gas processing requires a robust steel which is resilient to the long term corrosive effects of hydrogen sulphide in sour service applications. In order to provide better H2S resistance the properties of C-Mn steels have been progressively developed to improve chemistry, cleanliness, homogeneity, and microstructure
HIC steel plate, manufactured by Essar Steel, and supplied from stock by Prosaic Steel and Alloys represents the pinnacle of that development with the use of an electric arc furnace, ladle refining, and vacuum degassing producing a homogenous, ultra clean steel suitable for use in sour service applications.
The most common grades of HIC resistant steel plate is A516 – to ASME/ASTM standards. It will generally be certified to grades 60, 65 and 70 so one plate can meet the requirements for any of the three grades A516 60/65/70 + HIC.
Once theA516 plate is produced a sample is then tested to see if it meets the required of TM0284, with is the NACE standard for the Evaluation of Pipeline and Pressure Vessel Steels for Resistance to Hydrogen-Induced Cracking, using one of two test solutions. In simplistic terms these are acidic solutions that mimic the corrosive effects of the conditions that induce HIC Cracking. The steel stays in the solution for a few days and then it is examined under a microscope and the cracks that have formed are recorded
