The influence of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on the corrosion behaviors of X80 pipeline steel was investigated in a soil environment by electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. It was found that SRB grew well in the acidic soil environment and further attached to the coupon surface, resulting in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of the steel. The corrosion process of X80 steel was significantly affected by the SRB biofilm on the steel surface. Steel corrosion was inhibited by the highly bioactive SRB biofilm at the early stage of the experiment, while SRB can accelerate the corrosion of steel at the later stage of the experiment. The steel surface suffered severe pitting corrosion in the SRB-containing soil solution.

The alternating current (AC)-induced corrosion of a cathodically protected X65 pipeline steel was studied in a high pH, concentrated carbonate/bicarbonate solution. Results demonstrated that the corrosion rate of the steel increases with the AC current density, and AC interference could increase the pitting corrosion of the steel. In the absence of AC interference or at a low AC current density, i.e., 20 A/m2, a cathodic protection (CP) potential of −950 mV(Cu/CuSO4 electrode, CSE), which is 100 mV more cathodic than −850 mV(CSE) recommended by National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), provides a full protection over the steel. When the AC current density is higher than 20 A/m2, the NACE-recommended CP is incapable of protecting the pipeline from corrosion. A new CP standard is thus developed for recommendation to industry to avoid AC corrosion of pipelines.

ABSTRACTEffect of residual stresses of multiple welding repairs on API 5L X52 pipeline steel on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in a simulated acidic soil solution was studied. Four conditions of repairs of the girth weld were evaluated. The residual stresses were measured through X-ray diffraction (XRD) on the internal side of the pipe in longitudinal and circumferential direction. The circumferential and longitudinal residual stresses values are compressive on the inner surface of the welding joints. The highest residual stresses were measured in the hoop direction reaching values of about 98% of the yielding strength (360 MPa). It was observed that its magnitude increases as move away from weld center line. The effect of residuals stresses in the SCC susceptibility of X52 pipeline steel was evaluated through slow strain rate tests (SSRT) in a simulated acidic soil solution. Relation between mechanical properties obtained from SSRT and residual stresses on the SCC susceptibility was analyzed. Results of SCC index taking account the ratios obtained from the mechanical properties of the welding joints evaluate, showed good SCC resistance in acidic soil solution at low pH. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations showed that the region with high residual stresses prior to generate cracks in the steel due to the combination of soil solution and the strain exerted, should favor pitting formation and not cracking.
