Abstract
A research program has been conducted to determine the susceptibility of high strength steels to stress corrosion cracking at elevated temperatures in alkaline environments. The steels are typical well casing materials. The test program involved test environments such as calcium hydroxide, casing cements, and drilling muds. The results indicate that the susceptibility of these materials to stress corrosion cracking is influenced by temperature, yield strength of the material, and exposure time.
