    The document discusses materials selection for subsea pipelines. It describes how materials are chosen based on corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and cost. Carbon steel is often the default initially, but corrosion models are used to calculate internal corrosion rates under different conditions. If corrosion rates exceed acceptable thresholds, then corrosion resistant alloys are considered instead of or in addition to carbon steel. The selection process involves evaluating various alloys and coatings based on corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, fabrication and installation requirements, and overall costs over the life of the pipeline.
