“Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is the most effective method for reducing residual stresses that contribute to amine SCC. PWHT minimizes the stress intensity required for crack initiation and growth.”
Lowering temperature helps but is not always feasible.
Water content and amine concentration affect SCC but are not as impactful as PWHT.
Thus, Option A (Post-weld heat treatment) is the most effective mitigation.
