Question 2920 Deck General

The correct answer is C) high strength steel. High strength steel is more susceptible to sulfide stress cracking in the presence of hydrogen sulfide compared to low strength steel, aluminum, or rubber sealing elements. This is because high strength steels have a higher hardness and strength, which makes them more prone to cracking and embrittlement when exposed to hydrogen sulfide. In contrast, low strength steels, aluminum, and rubber are less vulnerable to this type of corrosion-induced cracking. The other options are incorrect because aluminum and rubber are generally more resistant to sulfide stress cracking, while low strength steel is less susceptible compared to high strength steel.
