The corrosion conditions of in-service aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) overhead lines in typical climate were studied by using macroscopic and microscopic methods. According to its operating environment, the corrosion causes were also analyzed. It is found that the corrosion of the outer aluminum stranded conductors is more serious than other parts. And partial corrosion pits have been found on the outer layers of aluminum stranded conductors. While there is no obvious corrosion appeared on the steel core matrix. Additionally, corrosion products can reduce the corrosion rate of aluminum stranded conductors but accelerate corrosion of the steel core. Through this research, more attention should be paid to monitor the aluminum stranded conductors.

Because of the complexity of corrosion, the law of uniform corrosion and localized corrosion is still not clear,so it is difficult to assess their impact on the structure safety. In order to differ them and find their own law, we obtain a lot of corrosion specimens by ways of constant temperature and humidity, and then detect the size of corrosion pits by roughness tester. After that, the method for calculating the thickness of uniform corrosion and localized corrosion is proposed. Then the method is used to analyze the experiment data. The result indicates the thickness of uniform corrosion and localized corrosion all increase with the rate of corrosion, and they all show a power relationship with corrosion rate, so it will provide a basis for distinguishing them in safety assessment.

In this study, the corrosion behavior of new Ni-based structural materials was studied for electrolytic reduction after exposure to LiCl-Li2O molten salt at 650°C for 24-216h under an oxidizing atmosphere. The new alloys with Ni, Cr, Al, Si, and Nb as the major components were melted at 1700°C under inert atmosphere. The corrosion products and fine structures of the corroded specimens were characterized by SEM, EDS, and XRD. The corrosion rate of 12wt% Cr-2wt% Si alloys and 12wt% Cr-5wt% Si alloys are below 0.3mm/year. However, the corrosion rate of 20wt% Cr-5wt% Si is 0.6mm/year. Also, the corrosion products of 12wt% Cr alloys were Cr2O3, NiCr2O4, Ni, and NiO; those of 20wt% Cr alloys were Cr2O3, LiAl2Cr3O8, and NiO. The higher corrosion rate of 20wt% Cr-5wt% Si could be the higher solute concentration which leads to an unstable alloy formation. As confirmed by the pseudo binary phase diagram of (Ni-Cr-Al-Nb)-Si, the solubility of the silicon with 20 wt% of Cr decreased to 4 wt% from 5 wt% with 12 wt% of Cr.

Purpose The paper aims to study the effect of liquid flow velocity on corrosion behavior of 20# steel at initial stage under (CO2/aqueous solution) gas–liquid two-phase plug flow conditions. Design/methodology/approach Weight loss, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and XPS methods were used in this study. Findings The corrosion rate increased with the increasing liquid flow velocity at any different corrosion time. The corrosion rate decreased with the extension of corrosion time at the same liquid flow velocity. There was no continuous corrosion products film on the whole pipe wall at any different corrosion time. The macroscopic brown-yellow corrosion products on the pipe wall surface decreased with the increasing liquid flow velocity and the loose floccus corrosion products decreased gradually until these products were transformed into un-continuous needle-like dense products with the increasing liquid velocity. The main elements among the products film were Fe, C and O, and the main phases of products film on the pipe wall were Fe3C, FeCO3, FeOOH and Fe3O4. When the corrosion time was 1 h under different liquid–velocity condition, the thickness of local corrosion products film was from 3.5 to 3.8 µm. Originality/value The ion mass transfer model of corrosion process in pipe was put forward under gas–liquid two-phase plug flow condition. The total thickness of diffusion sublayer and turbulence sublayer decreased as well as the turbulence propagation coefficient increased with the increasing liquid velocity, which led to the increasing velocity of ion transfer during corrosion process. This was the fundamental reason for the increase of corrosion rate with the increasing liquid velocity.

The corrosion behavior of X52 pipeline steel in H2S solutions was investigated through immersion corrosion test which was carried out in a high temperature and high pressure autoclave at different temperatures and H2S concentrations. General corrosion rates were calculated based on the weight loss of samples. The morphology and the chemical composition of the corrosion products were obtained by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The crystal structure of corrosion products was analyzed by X-Ray diffraction patterns (XRD). The corrosion products consisted mainly of the sulfide compounds (mackinawite, cubic ferrous sulfide, troilite and pyrrhotite). The corrosion products included two layers: the inner iron-rich layer and the outer sulfur-rich layer. Under H2S concentrations of 27g/L, the corrosion rate increased with the increase of temperature up to 90°C and then decreased at 120°C, finaly increased again. The corrosion rate first increased with H2S concentrations then decreased at 120°C. The structure and stability of the corrosion products due to different corrosion mechanism had a major impact on the corrosion rate. The corrosion resistance of the corrosion products increased as follows: mackinawite < cubic ferrous sulfide < troilite < pyrrhotite.

The corrosion behavior of pipeline steel containing 1%Cr is studied by using immersion experiment. The corrosion rust is characteried with macroscopic/microscopic surface morphology, corrosion kinetics and corrosion phases. The results demonstrate that the main corrosion products are lepidocrocite and goethite, Cr-rich compound consists of the inner layer. The corrosion process could be divided into three stages. At stage 1, the corrosion rate decreases fast, and the distributed corrosion products are formed. At stage 2, the granular corrosion products appear on coupons surface gradually, and a plain corrosion rate is obtained. At stage 3, a compact and dense corrosion layer attaches to coupons surface, and corrosion rate decreases mildly.

This study investigates the corrosion rate and corrosion behavior of carbon steel pipe at constant condensed fluid from a geothermal power plant. The corrosion rate of the steel was determined by weight loss analysis, whereas the corrosivity of the condensate fluids was measured by a multimeter Hach HQ40d. The morphology of the corrosion products formed was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Results showed that the corrosion rate in the liquid part of the condensate fluids is constant during the immersion period when water quality parameters are constant. Meanwhile, the corrosion rate of low carbon steel pipe decreases though with the longer exposure period in the condensate fluid. The decrease of metal corrodibility identical to the lower corrosion rate at a longer exposure time due to the protective corrosion layer formed. The corrosion products during immersion tests identified in the corrosion test were uniform with iron oxide in the form of FeO(OH) and Fe2O3*H2O.
