The role of nano-sized intergranular phases on nickel alloy 725 brittle failure

Abstract Although precipitation-hardened nickel alloys, such as Alloy 725, are extensively used in the most aggressive oil and gas production conditions given their a priori superior environmentally assisted cracking resistance, recent failures associated with hydrogen embrittlement (HE) cast doubts...
