Abstract
Mercury is a natural component of certain hydrocarbon reservoirs, so exposure to liquid mercury can occur in oil and gas production and processing plants. This paper reports liquid metal embrittlement (LME) test results for a variety of common oilfield and processing plant alloys exposed to liquid Hg across a range of temperatures. Test methods used include slow strain rate testing, c-ring tests and an innovative fracture mechanics approach to derive critical stress intensities for the onset of Hg LME. Test results are presented for ASTM A516 gr 70 carbon steel, ASTM A193 Gr B7 low alloy steel, AISI type 317 stainless steel, AISI type 410 stainless steel, Types 2205 and 2507 duplex stainless steel, Gr 2, Gr. 5 and Gr. 12 Titanium alloys, UNS N10276, UNS N06625, UNS N04400 and UNS A95086.
