Abstract:
Dr. Coronado will explain the important aspects of environmentally-induced cracking (EIC), including sulfide stress cracking (SSC), hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen-stress cracking (HSC). Dr. Coronado will also explain how resistance of metals to SSC and HIC can be determined by standardized industry test methods such as those described in NACE TM0177 and TM0284. Other test methods will also be explained.
At the end of the webinar, there will be time set aside for Dr. Coronado to answer questions from participants.
