Today’s global exploration of oil and gas leads to a range of highly corrosive environment that, in turn, require corrosion resistant high nickel content alloys for Oil Country Tubular Goods. Aimed at the problem of oil tube corrosion in environment with high content of H2S and CO2, the corrosion behavior of two nickel based alloys in 15%NaCl solution containing H2S/CO2 in high temperature and high pressure environments were researched. The pitting corrosion behavior of Ni-based alloys were investigated in FeCl3 solution by polarization curve and immersion test. The scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS) were applied to analyse the microstructure and corrosion performance of the samples. The results showed that the pitting-resistant of G3 was superior to Incoloy825.With the experimental temperature increasing, the corrosion rates increased and some slight corrosion pits appeared on the surface of Incoloy 825, Its maximum corrosion rate was 0.018mm/a. XRD showed that the corrosion films formed on nickel base alloys were consist of NiS, FeS and the oxides of Ni and Cr. The polarization curves showed that there were different corrosion behavior of two alloys, the anodic curve of G3 has an obvious passivation region, and there has higher pitting potential .

Corrosion behavior of (Zr51.6Cu48.4)93Al7bulk metallic glass in 3 M HCl, 3M H2SO4, 3M HNO3, 3M NaOH and 3.5 mass%(0.6M)NaCl solutions was studied by immersion test and electrochemical measurements. The bulk metallic glass was spontaneously passivated in the acids,alkali and brine, although it exhibits distinct spontaneous passivation with high passive current density in the Cl-containing solutions. The immersion test indicated, except for 3 M HCl solution, low corrosion rates of the order of 10-2 mm/year for (Zr51.6Cu48.4)93Al7bulk metallic glass in the other solutions, The quantitative X-ray energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS) analysis revealed that the high corrosion resistance of the bulk metallic glass was due to the formation of aluminium and zirconium-enriched passive film. Corrosion products were mainly copper chloride and oxides in the Cl-containing solutions . The growth mechanism of the passive film is also discussed.

The static corrosion behavior of a Fe-Al layer was investigated with an immersion test in seawater, using XRD and SEM with EDS, testing the corrosion rate. The results showed that phases -Al2O3, Fe2O3 and MgO were the main corrosion products on the Fe-Al layer surface, while corrosion pits and holes were also observed. It was found that the Fe-Al layer fabricated at 750 °C exhibits a better corrosion resistance, having smaller corrosion pits and holes and also a low corrosion rate. This was related to a good formation ability of the alumina passive film.

The 6061-T6 aluminum alloy welding joints were fabricated using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) of various laser powers, and the effect of laser power on the microstructure evolution of the welding joints was investigated. The corrosion behaviors of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy welding joints were investigated in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the micro-galvanic corrosion initiation from Mg2Si or around the intermetallic particles (Al-Fe-Si) is observed after the immersion test due to the inhomogeneous nature of the microstructure. The preferential dissolution of the Mg2Si and Al-Fe-Si is believed to be the possible cause of pitting corrosion. When the laser power reached 5 kW, the microstructure of the welded joint mainly consisted of Al-Fe-Si rather than the Mg2Si at 2 kW. The relatively higher content of Al-Fe-Si with increasing in laser power would increase the volume of corrosion pits.

Fluoride conversion coatings on Mg present many advantages, among which one can find the reduction of the corrosion rate under “in vivo” or “in vitro” conditions and the promotion of the calcium phosphate deposition. Moreover, the fluoride ions released from MgF2 do not present cytotoxic effects and inhibit the biofilm formation, and thus these treated alloys are very suitable for cardiovascular stents and biodegradable orthopedic implants. In this paper, the biodegradation behavior of four new magnesium biodegradable alloys that have been developed in the laboratory conditions, before and after surface modifications by fluoride conversion (and sandblasting) coatings, are analyzed. We performed structural and surface analysis (XRD, SEM, contact angle) before and after applying different surface treatments. Furthermore, we studied the electrochemical behavior and biodegradation of all experimental samples after immersion test performed in NaCl solution. For a better evaluation, we also used LM and SEM for evaluation of the corroded samples after immersion test. The results showed an improved corrosion resistance for HF treated alloy in the NaCl solution. The chemical composition, uniformity, thickness and stability of the layers generated on the surface of the alloys significantly influence their corrosion behavior. Our study reveals that HF treatment is a beneficial way to improve the biofunctional properties required for the studied magnesium alloys to be used as biomaterials for manufacturing the orthopedic implants.

The performance of several austenitic alloys ranging from low alloy content stainless steels to nickel-base alloys has been evaluated at temperatures from 704–1093°C (1300–2000°F) in cyclic air + 10 percent water vapor and from 704–982°C (1300–1800°F) in gasoline engine exhaust. The gasoline engine exhaust was found to be the more aggresive of the two test environments. A general trend of increasing performance with increasing nickel content was observed. At the highest test temperatures in both tests, the nickel-base alloys clearly displayed superior performance.

Background Titanium has outstanding corrosion resistance due to the thin protective oxide layer that is formed on its surface. Nevertheless, in harsh and severe environments, pure titanium may suffer localized corrosion. In those conditions, costly titanium alloys containing palladium, nickel and molybdenum are used. This purpose investigated how it is possible to control corrosion, at lower cost, by electrochemical surface treatment on pure titanium, increasing the thickness of the natural oxide layer. Methods Anodic oxidation was performed on titanium by immersion in H2SO4 solution and applying voltages ranging from 10 to 80 V. Different anodic current densities were considered. Potentiodynamic tests in chloride- and fluoride-containing solutions were carried out on anodized titanium to determine the pitting potential. Results All tested anodizing treatments increased corrosion resistance of pure titanium, but never reached the performance of titanium alloys. The best corrosion behavior was obtained on titanium anodized at voltages lower than 40 V at 20 mA/cm2. Conclusions Titanium samples anodized at low cell voltage were seen to give high corrosion resistance in chloride- and fluoride-containing solutions. Electrolyte bath and anodic current density have little effect on the corrosion behavior.

This study aims to understand the correlation between the manufacturing process-induced plastic deformation, microstructure, and corrosion behavior of a 13Cr martensitic stainless steel tubing material (UNS S42000). Comparisons were made between the microstructure, crystallographic orientation, and corrosion performance of a texture-free, heat-treated sample and uniaxially tensioned samples to the elongations of 5% and 22%. Cyclic potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were performed on all samples in aerated 3.5 wt% NaCl electrolyte at room temperature. Overall, the corrosion resistance of the samples was found to decrease with increasing deformation level. A more stable and higher corrosion potential and pitting potential values with a better stability of the passive film were derived for the nondeformed sample, whereas the 5% and 22% elongated samples exhibited lower corrosion and pitting potential values and were characterized by having a less stable passive layer. All samples consistently revealed micropit formation on the lath boundaries where a high concentration of chromium carbide precipitates was detected. Increasing the level of plastic strain in 13Cr stainless steel was found to enlarge the size of sensitized regions along the matrix/coarse chromium carbide precipitates interface, leading to more regions susceptible to initiation and propagation of pitting.
