Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) in the Oil and Gas Industry 3rd Edition - Now Available

The Nickel Institute is pleased to announce the availability of publication 10 073 Corrosion Resistant Alloys in the Oil and Gas Industry – selection guidelines update.

Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) are essential for providing long term resistance to corrosion for many components exposed to oil and gas production environments. Components include downhole tubing and safety critical elements, wellhead and Xmas tree components and valves, pipelines, piping, valves, vessels, heat exchangers and many other pieces of equipment in facilities. There are many CRAs to select from, and they can be characterised by their resistance to specific environments.

This guide, by Bruce Craig and Liane Smith (consultants to the Nickel Institute), for selection of CRAs for particular environments was originally published in 1998 and authored by Bruce Craig. It was one of the first to attempt to show that a material’s corrosion properties are influenced by many environmental parameters simultaneously.

The publication has stood the test of time and its third edition continues to provide reliable guidelines on materials performance.
