Hydrogen and H2S Effects

H2S decrease pH to 4
Anion sulfide play a role as poison which trap H ion at
the metal surface and facilitate hydrogen penetration into
metal lattice.
Hydrogen induced cracking, hydrogen blistering, hydrogen
attack and formation of hydride at the sensitive alloy, will
be formed with the presence of H2S.
Corrosion product are the soluble Sulfide and sulfide
deposit.
At High strength steel, hydrogen stress cracking and
sulfide stress cracking could occur.
