The chemical degradation of alloy components in sulfur-containing environments is a major concern in oil and gas production. This paper discusses the effect of elemental sulfur and its simplest anion, sulfide, on the corrosion of Cr-Mo alloy steel at pH 2 and 5 during 10, 20 and 30 h immersion in two different solutions. 4130 Cr-Mo alloy steel is widely used as tubing and tubular components in ...

In this study the effects of surface texture on the fatigue life of a high-strength low-alloy steel were evaluated in terms of the apparent fatigue stress concentration. An abrasive waterjet was used to machine uniaxial dogbone fatigue specimens with specific surface quality from a rolled sheet of AISI 4130 CR steel. The surface texture resulting from machining was characterized using contact p...

PS400 is a multi-component alloy developed by NASA and intended for high temperature bearing applications. This study reports on four mating surfaces, namely bulk 4130 steel, diamond-like carbon (DLC), polycrystalline diamond, molybdenum boride cobalt chrome coatings sliding against coating, the best performing tribopair at 25 500 °C was identified. The range speeds simulate extreme conditions ...

in the present study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar welding betweenastm a335 low alloy steel and er309l austenitic stainless steel were investigated using the gastungsten arc welding process. the welding of dissimilar materials between astm a335 low alloy steeland er309l austenitic stainless steel was found to have a significant effect on the microstructure when...

in the present study, the corrosion behavior of aisi 347 austenitic stainless steel to astm a335 low alloysteel dissimilar joint was investigated. for this purpose, two filler metals, er309l and ernicr-3, were selected to be used during the gas tungsten arc welding process. to investigate the corrosion behavior of the joints after welding, the specimens were tested in 3.5% sodium chloride solut...
