Slow strain rate testing has shown that the macroscopic tensile properties of mill-annealed TiCode 12 are not affected by exposure to either a synthetic seawater or high chloride brine environment. However, microscopic examination indicates that the fracture mode may be sensitive to environment. This sensitivity appears to be related to hydrogen ingress during prolonged exposure.
