Sandvik Sanicro 28

Sandvik Sanicro 28 is a low carbon, high nickel austenitic stainless steel alloy suitable for service in highly corrosive oil and gas environments. It is characterized by: Very good corrosion resistance in H2S, CO2 and chloride containing environments. Very good pitting resistance because of its high PRE* value of 37.7 minimum

General corrosion comparable to or better than Alloy 825 High tensile strength equivalent to AISI 316 Entirely non-magnetic properties

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

Sandvik Sanicro 28 is tested and certied in accordance with a minimum nominal tensile strength. Proof strength is approximately 90 % of the tensile strength. Sandvik Sanicro 28 is able, therefore, to resist high loads without permanent set of the wire.

CORROSION RESISTANCE Pitting

SAF 2205

Sandvik Sanicro 28 has very good resistance to pitting because of high contents of chromium and molybdenum. Critical pitting temperatures (CPT) as a function of the chloride content and pH are presented in Figures 1 and 2.

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in chloride environments

The combination of stresses up to the proof strength and chlorides leads to a risk of stress corrosion cracking. In austenitic steels the increased nickel content together with an increased stability against pitting corrosion will lead to an increased resistance against stress corrosion cracking.

Figure 4. Constant-load SCC tests in acidied aqueous solution. Stress = 0.2% proof strength at testing temperature, 90 C (194 F). Testing time 500 hours. Sandvik Sanicro 28 and Sandvik SAF 2205 tested in the cold worked condition. AISI 420 quenched and tempered.

Figure 3. SCC resistance in oxygen-bearing (about 8 ppm) neutral chloride solutions. Testing time: 1 000 hours. Applied strength equal to proof strength at testing time. The curve for AISI 304/304L and 316/316L is based on experimental data and practical experience. The data for the other grades are based on test results of tube material.

Tensile specimens from cold-worked Sandvik Sanicro 28 and Sandvik SAF 2205 were tested in the NACE TM-01-77 type of environment, modied in that the temperature was increased to 90 C (194 F). At this temperature, 100% H2S at atmosperic pressure corresponds to 100 kPa (14.5 psi) NaCl varied up to 10%.

Recommendations are for guidance only, and the suitability of a material for a specic application can be conrmed only when we know the actual service conditions. Continuous development may necessitate changes in technical data without notice.
