Abstract
In service environments ranging from high purity water to deep sour gas, the corrosion and embrittlement characteristics of nickel-base alloys have been found to be intimately related to the physical metallurgy of the alloys. Intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, and hydrogen embrittlement have been associated with, for example, grain boundary microstructure and microchemistry, solute segregation, ordering phenomena, and so on. This presentation will treat each of the abovementioned issues, and, in addition, consider improvements in corrosion resistance that may be expected through advanced processing, such as rapid solidification technology (RST).
