What is HIC Steel?
HIC steel plate – carbon steel plates which are tested to assess the susceptibility of the material to hydrogen induced cracking, which is a problem commonly found in wet H2S/sour service working environments.
MASTERHIC is Masteel UK Limited's designation for HIC Steel for fine grain pressure vessels offering specific and superior properties for sour gas application. HIC resistant steel is manufactured via the electric arc furnace with desulphurisation, dephosphorisation, ladle refining and vacuum degassing to provide an ultra clean and homogeneous steel. HIC steel is particularly suited for pressure equipment where wet H2S corrosion can be a problem.
ASTM/ASME A/SA 516 60/65/70 in accordance with MASTERHIC 5/10/15 HIC Resistant Steel for Pressure Equipment in Sour Service.
