Purpose This paper aims to under the laboratory environment, the corrosion behavior of X80 pipeline steel in oilfield injection water in eastern China was studied by immersion test. Design/methodology/approach First, the corrosion product film was immersed in oilfield injection water and the effect on the corrosion behavior and the corrosion reaction mechanism were constantly observed during this period. The effect was displayed by potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectrums (EIS) measurements. Second, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to observe and test the corrosion product film immersed in the oilfield water for 30 days. Findings The results indicate that the tendency of metal corrosion becomes weaker at an early stage, but strengthened later, which means the corrosion rate is accelerating. Besides, it is indicated by impedance spectroscopy that with the decreasing of the capacitance arc radius, the reaction resistance is reducing in this progress. Meanwhile, the character of Warburg impedance could be found in EIS, which means that the erosional components are more likely to penetrate the product film to reach the matrix. The corrosion product is mainly composed of the inner Fe3O4 layer and outer shell layer, which contains a large number of calcium carbonate granular deposits. It is this corrosion under fouling that produces severe localized corrosion, forming many etch pits on the metal substrate. Originality/value The experiment chose the X80 steel, the highest-grade pipeline steel used in China, to conduct the static immersion test in the injection water coming from an oilfield in eastern China. Accordingly, the corrosion mechanism and the effect of corrosion product film on the corrosion of pipeline steel were analyzed and discussed.

AbstractX80 pipeline steel is inevitably corroded by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in soil. Corrosion-induced damage to the pipeline steel could result in serious consequences. Studies have shown the critical role of interfacial film in SRB-induced corrosion. However, the specific effect of interfacial film was not examined. The effect of film on the corrosion of X80 steel in neutral soil environment was determined using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The structure and electrochemical characteristics of the surface film of X80 steel were examined in the presence of SRB in Shenyang soil. The results showed that, at the beginning of immersion (14 h), the steel surface mainly adsorbed the SRB biofilm, and the biofilm slowed down the corrosion reaction. A small amount of the biofilm and corrosion product film was observed on the electrode surface after immersion for 14–48 h. The corrosion product film destroyed the protection of the biofilm, increasing corrosion. After immersion for 48 h, the corrosion product contents and polarisation resistance increased. After immersion for 240 h, a dense corrosion product film formed on the sample surface, showing the least corrosion. The protective effect of corrosion products on X80 steel was much greater than that of the biofilm.

To study the effect of weld and defects on the corrosion behavior of nickel aluminum bronze (UNS C95810) in 3.5% NaCl solution, the weight loss, X-ray diffraction, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and electrochemical test of the specimen with weld and defects were investigated. The results show that the presence of weld and defects increases the corrosion rate of bronze. Weld does not change the structure of the corrosion product film, but defects induce a lack of the protective outermost corrosion product in bronze. Weld makes the corrosion product film in the early stage more porous. Defects always produce an increase in the dissolution rate of the bronze.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the effect of changes in iron content in 70/30 copper–nickel alloy on the corrosion process. Design/methodology/approach 70Copper–30Nickel-xFe-1Mn (x = 0.4,0.6,0.8,1.0 Wt.%) alloy were prepared by the high frequency induction melting furnace. The scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to analyze the morphology and component of the corrosion product film. Findings The results show that the corrosion resistance of 70/30 copper–nickel alloy added with 1.0%Fe is the best, and the film is divided into inner dense Cu2O composite film and outer hydration loose layer; XRD showed that after adding 1.0% Fe, the content of Cu2(OH)3Cl in the corrosion product film was significantly reduced, while the content of Cu2O remained unchanged; XPS showed that nickel accumulates in the inner layer of corrosion product film; the stage growth mode of the film, the role of nickel in it and the enrichment mechanism of iron in the inner film were summarized and discussed. Originality/value The changes in the composition and structure of the corrosion product film caused by the iron content are revealed, and the mechanism of the difference in corrosion resistance is discussed.

Sn-0.7Cu-0.075Al solder alloy adding with Ce and La had been successfully prepared by applying ball-milling and vacuum arc remelting. The influence of Ce and La on microstructure and corrosion behavior of Sn-0.7Cu-0.075Al solder alloy was investigated. The results showed that Ce (La)-containing solders had refined grains and obvious directional tendency due to the dispersive refiner (CeO2 and La2O3). Electrochemical potentiodynamic curves revealed three different stages of the reaction, including anodic and cathodic processes, prepassivation section, and stable passivation stages. The self-corrosion potential (Ecorr) of alloys with Ce and La addition were a little bit more negative, hardly making a difference on corrosion occurrence. However, the corrosion current density (Icorr) and passivation current density (Ip) decreased by two-thirds and one-half respectively, which indicated a better corrosion resistant after adding rare earths. The recorded micrographs of corroded surface at different polarized points witnessed the formation of corrosion product film both on prepassivation and passivation stage. Moreover, the cross section of corrosion product film showed the coarse, loose film in Sn-0.7Cu-0.075Al solder and adherent, compact film in Ce (La)-containing solders, which further indicated an excellent anti-corrosion property.

Purpose Pipelines are seriously corroded due to the close distance between pipelines and high voltage transmission lines. The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of alternating current (AC) on corrosion behavior of X80 pipeline steel in coastal soil solution. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion behavior of X80 steel under different AC densities in coastal soil solution was investigated by electrochemical measurements and image processing technology. Furthermore, a quantitative description model of AC corrosion through fractal dimension of corrosion image was established. Findings The results show that under low AC density the X80 steel is mainly uniform corrosion, and once AC density reaches 150 A/m2, the corrosion morphology gradually turns to pitting corrosion with irregular circle. For another aspect, the fractal dimension of corrosion images shows that the two/three-dimensional fractal dimension increase with the increase of AC density, presenting a linear and an exponential relationship respectively. In addition, the variation of the three-dimensional fractal dimension is the same as that of average corrosion rate. The threshold of the increasing trend of fractal dimension as well as corrosion type is 150 A/m2. Originality/value The investigation provides a quantitative method to describe AC corrosion morphology through fractal dimension. Furthermore, the method is of benefit to process corrosion images automatically.

When alumina is produced by the Bayer process with high-sulfur bauxite, the sulfur would strongly corrode the 12Cr1MoV steel made heat exchanger. This study investigated the initial corrosion behavior of the 12Cr1MoV steel exposed to a thiosulfate-containing sodium aluminate (TCSA) solution under the evaporation conditions of alumina production. The obtained corrosion rate equation is V = 6.306·t·exp(−0.71). As corrosion progressed, with the corrosion product film growing, the corrosion current density declines slowly, and the corrosion resistance of the steel is increased. At 1–3 days, the corrosion product film consisted of FeO, Fe2O3, and FeOOH. S2O32− lead to corrosion in local areas of the steel and pits appeared. AlO2− is transformed into Al(OH)3 and filled in the corrosion pits. At 4 and 5 days, Fe3O4 is generated in the outermost layer, and Al(OH)3 is shed from the corrosion pits. The corrosion mechanism of 12Cr1MoV steel in a TCSA solution is proposed based on the experimental results.

This paper focus on the development of low-alloy anti-corrosion steel for the upper deck of COT(cargo oil tank), and the corrosion behavior of Cr-containing low-alloy steels in O2-CO2-SO2-H2S moisture were studied using homemade COT corrosion simulation device. After the corrosion experiment, related corrosion data was measured, and macro morphology and structure of corrosion scale were observed by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). The phase and chemical composition of corrosion product film were analyzed by XRD(X-ray diffraction) and EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy). The effect of misorientation distribution on anti-corrosion property of steel was investigated by EBSD(electron backscattered diffraction). Based on the results, corrosion scale of COT on the upper deck consist of α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, FeS2, S and Fe1-xS, and the type of corrosion is mainly general corrosion. Cr enrichment was found on the inner corrosion product film, the addition of Cr leads to the increasing of low-angle grain boundaries and sub-grain structure which is conducive to the improvement of corrosion resistance.
