Abstract
The environmental embrittlement of corrosion-resistant alloys (CRA), determined from laboratory experiments over the last 5 years, is reviewed in this paper. A number of environments, including ambient temperature production environments, high temperature production environments, high temperature packer fluids and low or high temperature acidizing fluids, cause cracking of some stressed CRA. Data is presented to identify the specific environment - alloy combinations which result in environmental embrittlement.
