This paper presents a description of application of constant strain rate test to evaluation of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of engineering alloys, in general, and to oil field materials exposed to H2S environments, in particular. Tests to discriminate between susceptible and nonsusceptible low alloy steels exposed to an H2S-CO2 environment and to determine the temperature at which the alloy (in a specific heat treat condition) becomes immune to SCC are described.
