What are the NACE MR0175 requirements for C95800, C95400, C95500 and C63200?

By Materials & Welding


Question:
We are using the following materials for manufacturing of valve components. In reference to the clause A.12.1 of NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-3:2003, no any special requirements are specified to these materials for use in SOUR environment. We wish to know what shall be the chemical, physical, hardness properties and heat treatment requirements for using these materials in SOUR service environment. Valve Components: Body – ASTM B148 UNS C95800, C95400 & C95500. Stem – ASTM B150 UNS C63200. Ball – ASTM B148 UNS C95800.
Answer:
For these materials, there are no 15156 restrictions on chemistry, hardness or heat treatment. However, note that these materials can undergo severe weight loss corrosion. They may also be susceptible hydrogen stress cracking when galvanically coupled to steel. It is up to the user to decide if qualification of these materials is necessary in the applicable sour service environment. § 8 of NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 Part 1 indicates how these materials can be qualified.
This question is in relation to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-1 Clause 8

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
