Use of the term, "Production environment pH shall not
be lower than that of the test environment" is
unacceptable.

Resolve the issue of how pH is calculated and re-ballot

with an actual pH number that can be used by both
oil/gas producers and equipment manufacturers.

11 N Negative, but simple to resolve by addressing the The problem report with the
following items: stated chloride level is
- The 20 and 25 wt% NaCl in Tables 4 and 5 is NOT acknowledged. It affects all
consistent with the entries of 120,000 and 150,000 for the calculations of
mg/l chloride ions in Table A.32. ISO 15156-3, annex equivalence between %W and
E, defines Cl- in mg/l, NOT wt% NaCl. If the test was mg/l in the document. It will
actually done with 20 and 25 wt% NaCl, then, taking be corrected in all the Tables
account of the density of the solution at ambient in the Second edition of
temperature, the real Cl- levels would have been NACEMR0175/ISO 15156-3
140,000 and 180,000 mg/l, resp. due to be published in 2009
- In none of the headings of the test result tables (2-6)
can I find any boxes ticked. In this way the tables are
incomplete and not suitable for supporting the ballot.
(I noted that the lab data summary mentions things
like test solution used, but that is not adequate).
- I assume that the test lab used TM0177-2005, rather

Page 1 of 18
 than TM0177-96 as indicated in the test report. From
the point of view of accepting ballot data, it is not
good practice to refer to an outdated version of the
TM.

My guess is that addressing these items may result in

the actual Table A.32 remaining as proposed but the
supporting ballot material being updated.
To me it is essential that such an update is carried out.
If not, (future) reference to the supporting test data
(incl. the digital and paper versions of the database)
can only conclude that the information is at points
incomplete and inconsistent.
My vote is 'affirmitive' but I have the following
comments:-

- I am concerned with the practice of machining small

(2"OD)C-rings from solid barstock (indeed not sure
how a 'longitudinal' C-ring is machined from solid
barstock?). Preference would be for four-point bend
tests on 'strip' specimens.
12 Y
- For Level VII conditions there is a concern that ISO
15156/NACE MR0175 is indicating the material is 'fit
for purpose' when some pitting corrosion was
observed. What was the size/depth/distribution of
these pits?
- Would have preferred some data from larger OD
barstock material, as would be used for tubing
hangers, etc.
13 Y
14 Y
Alloy description states that 350 F is the upper
15 Y application temperature. That should be changed to
reflect the balloted temperature of 450 F.

21 N I agree with Sytze Huizinga that the supporting
documentation should be fixed to prevent ambiguity.
Probably needs a follow-up letter to the submission
showing the corrections.
My items:
- Greg crossed out the old data in the Table but the
submission does not have it crossed out. It can be
confusing.
-Was the testing done before the issue of TM0177-
2005?
-For the method A tests, it does not actually say
solution A was used; although you can assume that

Page 2 of 18
 from the pH.
-Same for C-ring tests. My assumption from the report
is that different bolting materials were used and no
correction for yielding.

There should not be any ambiquity to properly indicate

what was done.
22 Y
23 Y
I voted affirmative however, after Senior moment set
in I noticed that all three heats were processed similar
with slight difference in hold time during SA . This
difference was 0.5 hours between the three heats. In
production what will be the deciding factor ( hardness
or heat treatment). If hardness is achieve and there is
a major change in heat treatment from what was used
to qualify will performance be the same?????? Is there
24 Y
a range for heat treatment where acceptable
performance is achieved ( I think we should have one)
Current ISO document has ranges for heat treatment
of materials that are used in less severe conditions
than is anticipated for this alloy. How many subsea
failures have occurred where cause was reported to be
heat treating related???
Just something to consider

Udea-san (with cc to Greg Chitwood)

I hope you are well and your research is fruitful these

days. This email is to make an effort to resolve your
negative vote on the UNS N09945 (Ballot 2008-1) and
address your comment given below:

¿Long-term test more than 6 months or 1 month C

ring test with crevice is needed for SCC resistance
evaluation of Ni based alloys. Because the incubation
time of SCC occurrence in Ni based alloy is longer than
other stainless steels.

The SSC/SCC tests in the ballot for UNS N00945 were

performed according to the requirements established
for alloy inclusion in the MR0175/ISO15156. Use of
crevice and 6 month is NOT specified.

I have talked to the committee chairman (Greg

Chitwood) and he recommends that if you wish to
change the testing requirements for balloting new
alloys into the document that you may submitted a
separate ballot and subject it to voting by the
maintenance panel and oversight committee.

We would appreciate your evaluation of the situation

and your retraction your negative vote as the present
requirements for testing were followed in this case.
You may then approach your concerns with a separate
ballot to change the testing requirements given in
MR0175.

Please send an email to Greg Chitwood (MP Chairman)

advising of your action as soon as possible as this item
needs to be handled and documented prior to
Eurocorr.

Respectfully,

Dr. Russell D. Kane

"comment" is different from the others although I
assume that the first alloy referenced is also lab tested
but states al pH values rather than to cite the test pH
as minimum.

Affirmative - data appears to meet the rules so no

I worry though that we'll end up with a document with

lots of entries for the same material but with slightly
different limits as a result of submissions from the

appreciate this is within the rules but I hear enough
criticism of the document as it stands so we need to

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION

 UNS N09945 (INCOLOY alloy 945) is a nickel-base, precipitation hardenable, wrought corrosion resistant alloy
intended for use in oil and gas for critical applications and/or severe environments containing high levels of
H2S, CO2, and chlorides at temperatures up to 350F. The alloy offers excellent combination of high yield
strength (125, 000 psi. minimum) and corrosion resistance up to Level VI as defined in ISO 15156-3, Annex E.

 UNS N09945 builds on the existing technology of INCOLOY alloy 925 (UNS N09925) and INCONEL alloy 718
(UNS N07718) and INCONEL alloy 725 (UNS N07725) which are very similar alloys and from which UNS
N09945 was developed.

 UNS N09945 is age hardened by the formation of the gamma prime and/or gamma double prime precipitates
by heat treating in a manner similar to UNS N09925, N07718 and N07725.

 UNS N09945 offers an excellent combination of high yield strength (125,000 psi minimum) and corrosion
resistance up to Level VI as defined in ISO 15156-3, Annex E. Strength can be further enhanced by cold
working (not included in this ballot).

APPLICATION

The material is suited for any equipment or component intended for sour environment in oil and gas production.
Example of, but not limited to, components that be produced with UNS N09945 are hangers, packers, valves stems
and tubular used in wellhead, downhole equipments, christmas tree, and side pocket mandrels.

SERVICE CONDITIONS

Not Applicable – Ballot prepared is based on laboratory test procedures given in NACE MR0175/ISO15156 per
NACE TM0177 Solution A (with and without steel coupling) and NACE Levels V and VI as defined in NACE
MR0175/ISO 15156 Annex E. Not balloted based on service experience.

MECHANISM'S OF CRACKING

Mechanisms of cracking that need to be addressed for this class of alloys (Precipitation Hardened Nickel-Base
Alloys) are given in Table B.1 in NACE MR0175/ISO15156. They are SSC (Sulfide Stress Cracking), SCC (Stress
Corrosion Cracking), and GHSC (Galvanically-induced Hydrogen Stress-Cracking).

FORM 1-BALLOT ITEM FOR NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 (latest edition)

LABORATORY DATA SUMMARY

Three commercially produced heat/lots of alloy 945 were tested for tensile and hardness to establish uniformity of
material. All were in the hardness range HRC 42 to 43. Corrosion testing of these heats passed the following tests
as given in Tables 2 to Tables 5.

 GHSC Resistance: Triplicate specimens from three heats (coupled to steel) passed 720 hours test at room
temperature in testing per NACE TM0177-96, Method A – Tensile Test using Solution A. Samples were
stressed to 90% actual yield strength in accordance with ISO 15156-3, B.3.4. No cracks were observed (Table
2).

 SSC Resistance: Triplicate specimens from three heats (uncoupled) passed 720 hours test at room
temperature in testing per NACE TM0177-96, Method A – Tensile Test using Solution A. Samples were
stressed to 90% yield strength. No cracks were observed (Table 3).

 SCC Resistance: Triplicate specimens from three heats (uncoupled) passed 2160 hours (3 months) per
TM0177, Method C - C-Ring Test in the standard NACE environments for Levels VI and V. Samples were
stressed to 100% actual yield strength in accordance with ISO 15156-3, B.3.4. No cracks were observed
(Table 4 – Level VI Tests and Table 5 – Level V Tests). Details for Levels are given in the data tables as
defined in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 Annex E.

MECHANISM'S OF CRACKING
Mechanisms of cracking that need to be addressed for this class of alloys (Precipitation Hardened Nickel-Base
Alloys) are given in Table B.1 in NACE MR0175/ISO15156. They are SSC (Sulfide Stress Cracking), SCC (Stress
Corrosion Cracking), and GHSC (Galvanically-induced Hydrogen Stress-Cracking). These are consistent with the
laboratory data as described above.

SELECTION. SAMPLING. AND PREPARATION OF TEST SPECIMENS

Two commercial heats were VIM+VAR melted and one commercial heat was VIM+ESR melted. The VIM+VAR
heats were hot rolled to 3.5” rod (EX0019PY12) and 4.5” rod (Ex0019PY11). The VIM+ESR heat was forged to 6”
rod (EX0022PK1). The billets were conditioned and re-annealed at various hot working steps as required. Finally,
the hot worked materials were annealed and aged as mentioned in the attached Tables. Test specimens were
obtained from the mid-radius location and material was tested in the longitudinal orientation.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE TEST ENVIRONMENT AND PHYSICAL TEST CONDITIONS

The test package was prepared using guidelines given for precipitation hardened nickel-base alloys given in Table
B.1 of NACE MR0175/ISO15156. SSC (Sulfide Stress Cracking), SCC (Stress Corrosion Cracking), and GHSC
(Galvanically-induced Hydrogen Stress-Cracking). See Laboratory Data Summary and Mechanisms of Cracking
above.

TEST RESULTS DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE WITH NACE MR0175/ISO 15156

Compliance of the test results with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 is demonstrated in Tables 2 through 5 for each of the
three environments and cracking mechanisms required.
