Bent beam and self-stressed specimens have been employed and shown to give results consistent with other types of specimens as reported in the literature. All tests have been conducted in the standard NACE, H/sub 2/S environment for initial screening and then in a 20 percent NaCl modified NACE solution. Among the higher strength corrosion resistant alloys, K Monel at 135 ksi yield strength did not fail in either environment at temperatures up to 425/sup 0/F stressed at the yield strength. Age hardenable A286 failed at 325/sup 0/F when stressed to the 190 ksi yield strength, but did not fail when stressed to an overaged yield strength of 135 ksi. A new NiCoCrMo age hardenable alloy heat treated to 220 ksi yield strength and stressed to this value did not fail in either environment at temperatures up to 420/sup 0/F. Also, this material was substantially ''brighter'' after the tests than either the K-Monel or A286.
