Alloy Details

Alloy 2535 (UNS N08535) is a cold-hardened nickel-based alloy engineered for corrosion resistance in highly sour (H2S) environments with moderate chloride levels, providing high strength up to 350°F.

Compared to stainless steels, 2535 offers enhanced protection against the effects of H2S, making it suitable for use in downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment in sour wells under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions, as well as in Acid Gas Injection (AGI) wells. However, it is essential to evaluate all environmental factors, such as H2S, CO2, temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, before selecting the appropriate material.

UNS N08535 is classified under MR0175/ISO15156 as a type 4c alloy, with no restrictions for H2S partial pressure below 270°F, and it can withstand 200 psi H2S at 350°F.

Solid Solution Nickel Alloy

Nickel-base alloys are primarily employed in environments where the partial pressure of H2S exceeds 3 psi. These alloys are enhanced with increased levels of Nickel, Molybdenum, and other elements to extend their performance in harsh conditions involving high temperatures, H2S, and chlorides. Nickel alloys are approved for highly sour environments in accordance with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156. In the annealed condition yield strengths may range from 30 to 55 ksi. Pipe is typically supplied in the cold-hardened condition with yield strength between 110 and 160 ksi.
