Steel risers for deepwater offshore oil and gas field developments are subject to seawater on the external surfaces, produced fluids on the internal surfaces and to fatigue loading. This paper reviews current knowledge of the corrosion fatigue behaviour of welded stainless steel for risers and presents results of testing of supermartensitic, duplex and superduplex grades in relevant environments.
