Dear Bruce,

Thanks for your resonse. I have a background of material science. But when I checked HIC from my superiors, I found some controversy. One told me that it happens when hydrocarbon flows in CS pipes due to formation of CH4 which generally occurs at welded joints and results in a crack. whereas another told, it happens when a fluid (hydrocarbon) passing through pipe enters inside the gaps between bonds (metal composition) which forms a crack after certain period.

so can you please suggest me which one is correct? I have not searched for it on net but will do it simultaneously. About Sulphur Cracking, I am not getting anything. can you please suggest me any paper or literature available on the same.

cheers,
rakesh

Rakesh:

This is rather complex and not conducive to an e-mail, unless you want to limit the discussion to "it's bad" and "use the right material for the service to avoid it". I have corrosion and materials texts and took courses on solid-phase chemistry and materials science of corrosion to get a basic understanding. Have you done thorough on-line searches (like Google) to get some basic information? Do you have a background in solid-phase chemistry and material science?

Hi All,

Can anybody guide me about Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) and Sulphur Induced Cracking. What is the basic concept of it and How it can be tested and rectified.

regards,
rakesh
