The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of the machining conditions on the sulfide stress cracking (SSC) resistance of carbon steel. The paper presents the results obtained on two different carbon steel grades machined in conditions generating different surface residual stresses and correlates the stress state with the SSC resistance determined according to NACE TM0177 method A.
