571 Temperatures

1. Many corrosion mechanisms are influenced by temperature, with rates typically increasing with temperature up to a maximum point. Common temperature ranges include ambient to 300°F for hydrogen embrittlement, and above 500°F for high temperature H2S corrosion. 2. Specific mechanisms are influenced within certain temperature ranges, such as 885°F embrittlement from 600-1000°F, and graphitization occurring between 800-1100°F. 3. Most corrosion mechanisms accelerate or become severe above a threshold temperature, such as amine corrosion above 220°F and caustic corrosion of carbon steel above 175°F.
