The document discusses several damage mechanisms including: hydrogen embrittlement where atomic hydrogen infuses into high strength steels causing brittleness; CO2 corrosion from carbonic acid degrading steels; wet H2S cracking from atomic hydrogen weakening steel through processes like HIC, SOHIC, and SSC; HTHA affecting equipment exposed to hydrogen at elevated temperatures; sulfidation corrosion occurring above 260°C due to sulfur compounds in crude; CUI from moisture buildup on insulated equipment; and brittle fracture involving rapid fracture under stress with little ductility evidence.

Atomic hydrogen infuses into certain higher strength steels and causes them to become brittle CO2 Corrosion - RT, UT Degradation that occurs when CO2 in condensate forms carbonic acid, which corrodes steels Wet H2S Cracking - WFMT, PAUT Atomic hydrogen from wet H2S corrosion rxn enters and weaken steel i. HIC - ii. SOHIC - iii. SSC - HTHA - WFMT, MT, AUBT (Earlier stages of HTHA) Mechanism that affect equipment that is exposed to H at elevated temperature (204 oC) Sulfidation Corrosion - RT Occurs at temp >260 oC due to sulfur compunds in crude CUI - UT Moisture build up on surface of insulated equipment Brittle Fracture - UT Rapid fracture under stress where material exhibits little/no evidence of ductility/plastic degradation before fracture occurs
