  • 1.  Pitting Resistance of Alloy 825 in sour service (O2<10ppb) and High Chlorides

    Posted 10-20-2025 05:52 AM

    Hi everyone, please share your thoughts on pitting resistance of Alloy 825 in sour service (hydrocarbon + Produced water with Chlorides up to 120000ppm), operating temperature (60-90 Deg. C) when Alloy 825 can be used as per NACE MR0175/ISO1515-3.

    Hi Qaiser,

    The scope of NACE MR0175 does not discuss/cover pitting resistance. In other words, NACE MR0175 is about damage mechanism(s) driven by cracking.

    Qaiser,

    Second Mohsen on not using NACE MR0175 for identifying localized corrosion limits. But there is test data available in AMPP papers and elsewhere. One example is 
    "nace-02042-Selection Of UNS N08825 As Cladding Material For Offshore Pipelines Transporting Sour Multiphase Hydrocarbon". As with any test data, several caveats with respect to testing limits, processing part unknowns etc have to be looked at before directly using the data. But its a good start with pointers to some field experiences too.  By the way, NACE TR1F192 also addresses the topic.
