Terms
Austenitic
a term that refers to a type of metallurgical structure (austenite) normally found in 300 Series stainless
steels and nickel base alloys.
the 300 Series stainless steels including Types 304, 304L, 304H, 309, 310, 316, 316L, 316H, 321, 321H,
347, and 347H. The "L" and "H" suffixes refer to controlled ranges of low and high carbon content,
respectively. These alloys are characterized by an austenitic structure.
Carbon steel
steels that do not have alloying elements intentionally added. However, there may be small amounts of
elements permitted by specifications such as SA516 and SA106, for example that can affect corrosion
resistance, hardness after welding, and toughness. Elements which may be found in small quantities include
Cr, Ni, Mo, Cu, S, Si, P, Al, V and B.
Diethanolamine (DEA)
Ferritic
a term that refers to a type of metallurgical structure (ferrite) normally found in carbon and low alloy steels
and many 400 series stainless steels.
the portion of the base metal adjacent to a weld which has not been melted, but the metallurgical
microstructure and mechanical properties have been changed by the heat of welding, sometimes with
undesirable effects.

Low
Alloy
Steels
(HSLA)
A family of low-carbon steels in which the strength levels are achieved by the addition of moderate
amounts of alloying elements such as titanium, vanadium or niobium in amounts of less than 0.1 per cent.
They can be are more sensitive to cracking during fabrication from hydrogen embrittlement (delayed
cracking) or underbead cracking.
describes stepwise internal cracks that connect adjacent hydrogen blisters on different planes in the metal,
or to the metal surface. No externally applied stress is needed for the formation of HIC. The development
of internal cracks (sometimes referred to as blister cracks) tends to link with other cracks by a transgranular
plastic shear mechanism because of internal pressure resulting from the accumulation of hydrogen. The
link-up of these cracks on different planes in steels has been referred to as stepwise cracking to characterize
the nature of the crack appearance.
a family of steels containing up to 9% chromium and other alloying additions for high temperature strength
and creep resistance. The materials include C-0.5Mo, Mn-0.5Mo, 1Cr-0.5Mo, 1.25 Cr-0.5Mo, 2.25Cr-
1.0Mo, 5Cr-0.5Mo, and 9Cr-1Mo. These are considered ferritic steels.
Martensitic
a term that refers to a type of metallurgical structure (martensite) normally found in some 400 series
stainless steel. Heat treatment and or welding followed by rapid cooling can produce this structure in
carbon and low alloy steels.
include Types 410, 410S, 416, 420, 440A, 440B, and 440C.
Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)
used in amine treating to remove H2S and CO2 from hydrocarbon streams.
Monoethanolamine (MEA)
Nickel base
a family of alloys containing nickel as a major alloying element (>30%) including Alloys 200, 400, K-500,
800, 800H, 825, 600, 600H, 617, 625, 718, X-750, and C276.
describes an array of cracks, aligned nearly perpendicular to the stress, that are formed by the link-up of
small HIC cracks in steel. Tensile strength (residual or applied) is required to produce SOHIC. SOHIC is
commonly observed in the base metal adjacent to the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) of a weld, oriented in the
through-thickness direction. SOHIC may also be produced in susceptible steels at other high stress points,
such as from the tip of the mechanical cracks and defects, or from the interaction among HIC on different
planes in the steel.
Stainless steel
there are four categories of stainless steels that are characterized by their metallurgical structure at room
temperature: austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex. These alloys have varying amounts of chromium
and other alloying elements that give them resistance to oxidation, sulfidation and other forms of corrosion
depending on the alloy content.
