There are varying forms of metallurgical embrittlement that can degrade the material properties and specifically, the load-carrying capacity of pressure retaining components. In general, these embrittlement mechanisms are a function of equipment metallurgy/steel chemistry, heat treatment, and process conditions, including chemical constituents, internal pressure (stress), and temperature.
