SOHIC without H{sub 2}S

The occurrence of stress-oriented, hydrogen-induced cracking (SOHIC) traditionally is associated with the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H{sub 2}S). However, as a hybrid of sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), SOHIC fundamentally is a variant of hydrogen cracking. Therefore, there is no reason why it should be encountered in hydrogenating conditions other than sour service, for example, under cathodic protection. two cases of this type are described: one corresponds to external cracking in an onshore pipeline and the other to a high-strength part in a subsea connector.
