The stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of several stainless alloy samples in sour environments was evaluated using the constant-strain C-ring test method and slow-strain-rate tensile test method. SCC resistance was a function of nickel content, temperature, and processing. SCC resistance increases with increasing nickel content in the alloy. For a specific alloy, SCC was more severe at higher temperatures, higher stress levels, and higher yield- strength levels.
