Abstract

This article presents an overview of environmentally-assisted cracking and corrosion fatigue in steels. Following a brief review of environmentally-assisted cracking by hydrogen embrittlement and anodic dissolution, the mechanisms of corrosion and environmentally-assisted crack growth are elucidated for coated and uncoated structural steels that are relevant to offshore structures, and oil and gas pipelines. In each of these scenarios, mechanism-based models are presented for the prediction of sub-critical crack growth and corrosion fatigue.
