HIC Resistant Steel is carbon steel which is tested to demonstrate the plate's resilience to the long term effects of hydrogen induced cracking, tested according to NACE.
Below are technical details of our HIC resistant steel plate, including information relating to testing and identification...
MASTERHIC 5/10/15 is tested in accordance with
NACE TM 0284-03 with test solution A (pH =3)
| CLR (%) | CTR (%) | CSR (%) | |
| MASTERHIC 5 | ≤ 5 | ≤ 1.5 | ≤ 0.5 |
| MASTERHIC 10 | ≤ 10 | ≤ 3 | ≤ 1 |
| MASTERHIC 15 | ≤ 15 | ≤ 5 | ≤ 2 |
