P110 Steel Flow-induced corrosion Electrochemical Method Abstract. Electrochemical measurements have been used to investigate the flow-induced corrosion behaviors of P110 oil tube in 3.5wt% NaCl solution. The corrosion rates were calculated by linear polarization resistance method and weak polarization method respectively. The results demonstrated that corrosion rate of P110 steel increases sharply with the flow velocity increase when the impact angle is 30°, but it reach the first plateau when the fluid velocity changes from 5.6 m/s to 7.8 m/s and the corrosion rate increases sharply again when the velocity beyond 7.8 m/s. After that, corrosion rate decrease when the velocity is more than 10.0m/s. It is demonstrated that the corrosion rate of steel P110 is controlled by cathode reaction of oxygen diffusion in the 3.5 wt % NaCl solution when the flow velocity is over 10.0m/s.

Erosion-corrosion behavior in downhole tubulars and oilfield ground gathering transferring system is interesting in optimum design. This work is addressed to investigate erosion-corrosion behavior of hydraulic perforating equipment during fracturing. The typical fracturing fluid of 0.2% hydroxypropyl guar gum solution mixed with quartz grain was selected. The relationship between erosion-corrosion rate and flow displacement, the effect of the flow impact angle on erosion-corrosion rate is performed on a jet impingement experimental apparatus. In the experiment situation, the erosion-corrosion rate reaches highest at the impact angle of 45°. The erosion-corrosion rate increased exponentially with the increase of flow displacement. The surface morphology of specimen suffer from erosion-corrosion is analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to characterize the erosion-corrosion damage mechanisms.

Erosive wear is material removal due to the impingement of granular flow. In the present work, the effects of influencing parameters including flow velocity, incidence angle and grain size on erosive behavior of AISI1020 subjected to a flow of SiC particles has been investigated by employing an erosion wear test machine. The experiments have been performed at the different values of impact angle, flow velocity and particle size. Two tests have been performed for every set of conditions and the average of them has been presented. Results showed that the erosive wear maximizes at the impact angles of 30° and 45°. The flow of small particles resulted in more wear contrast to the large particles. Results also indicated that the influence of flow velocity was higher than the influence of impact angle and particle size. It means that minimizing the flow velocity results in more efficient results to reduce erosion. Moreover, the experimental data were used to determine appropriate coefficients for using in an erosion equation given by literature. New factors gave erosion evaluations which had appropriate accordance with the experimental data.

A new design method for trajectory shaping guidance laws with the impact angle constraint is proposed in this study. The basic idea is that the multiplier introduced to combine the equations for the terminal constraints is used to shape a flight trajectory as desired. To this end, the general form of impact angle control guidance (IACG) is first derived as a function of an arbitrary constraint-combining multiplier using the optimal control. We reveal that the constraint-combining multiplier satisfying the kinematics can be expressed as a function of state variables. From this result, the constraint-combining multiplier to achieve a desired trajectory can be obtained. Accordingly, when the desired trajectory is designed to satisfy the terminal constraints, the proposed method directly can provide a closed form of IACG laws that can achieve the desired trajectory. The potential significance of the proposed result is that various trajectory shaping IACG laws that can cope with various guidance goals can be readily determined compared to existing approaches. In this study, several examples are shown to validate the proposed method. The results also indicate that previous IACG laws belong to the subset of the proposed result. Finally, the characteristics of the proposed guidance laws are analyzed through numerical simulations.

AbstractThis study elucidates the performance of cold-sprayed tungsten carbide-nickel coating against solid particle impingement erosion using alumina (corundum) particles. After the coating fabrication, part of the specimens followed two different annealing heat treatment cycles with peak temperatures of 600 °C and 800 °C. The coatings were examined in terms of microstructure in the as-sprayed (AS) and the two heat-treated conditions (HT1, HT2). Subsequently, the erosion tests were carried out using design of experiments with two control factors and two replicate measurements in each case. The effect of the heat treatment on the mass loss of the coatings was investigated at the three levels (AS, HT1, HT2), as well as the impact angle of the erodents (30°, 60°, 90°). Finally, the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to analyze and optimize the results, building the mathematical models that relate the significant variables and their interactions to the output response (mass loss) for each coating condition. The obtained results demonstrated that erosion minimization was achieved when the coating was heat treated at 600 °C and the angle was 90°.

Sintered magnesium alloys, which were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method, were examined to study corrosion characteristics by electrochemical method, XRD and EPMA. The binary mixtures alloys of a low-melting-point metal powder (Sn, Bi, Sb) of1.0 vol.% and the pure magnesium powder were prepared. In the Mg-1.0vol.%Bi and Mg-1.0vol.%Sn, Mg3Bi2 and Mg2Sn precipitates was recognized by XRD, respectively. In addition, formation of oxide along powder particle boundaries was observed by EPMA elemental mapping in all specimens. In the case of Mg-1.0vol.%Zn, precipitation of metallic compounds was not recognized by these experiments. According to the results of polarization curve measurements, the Mg-1.0vol.%Bi shows highest corrosion potential. However, corrosion rate which was estimated by Tafel method is relatively larger than other alloys due to Mg3Bi2 precipitation. This result suggests that Mg3Bi2 acts as cathode site. The Mg-1.0vol.%Sn shows superior corrosion rale in these alloys.

Abstract A method of applying the hydrogen effusion method to the measurement of corrosion rates in dynamic aqueous systems at elevated temperature and pressure is described. Data obtained in low carbon steel systems are presented, including (1) reproducibility obtained in measured hydrogen effusion rates at a flow velocity of 1 foot per second at a temperature of 600 F and 2000 psi, and (2) a quantitative comparison between the hydrogen effusion rates in static and in low flow velocity dynamic systems at this temperature and pressure. Some observations are included on corrosion rate measurements in a high flow velocity (30 feet per second) loop by the hydrogen effusion method. Implications of these measurements with regard to the comparison between high flow velocity corrosion and low flow velocity corrosion are mentioned and some data indicating high local sensitivity of the hydrogen effusion method are noted. Some possible difficulties involved in the method are pointed out. 2.3.4

The corrosion of steel will have a bad impact on the safety of reinforced concrete structure. In severe cases, it may even be disastrous. In order to understand the impact of steel corrosion on the structure, tests are carried out to study corrosion and expansion rules of steel bars as well as the impact rules of corrosion on bond force between steel and concrete. The results show that wet and salty environment will result in steel corrosion; relatively minor corrosion will not cause expansion cracks of protection layers; when steel rust to a certain extent, it will cause cracks along the protection layer; when there exists minor corrosion in steel and the protection layer does not have expansion cracks, the bond force is still large and rapidly decreases as the corrosion rate increases.

Abstract Generally, in water injection systems, oxygen levels starting from around eight ppm are deoxygenated to below 50 ppm, following international standards' guidelines. This work aims to discuss the impact of such a magnitude value of oxygen contamination on steel corrosion in seawater injection systems by analysing theoretical polarisation curves and results from published works with different approaches. Corrosion models consider mass-transfer controlled diffusion of oxygen to predict the maximum steel corrosion rate, which depends on the oxygen limiting current, which in turn is strongly influenced by flow velocity. The effect of free chlorine on corrosion in seawater injection systems has also been considered and included in an oxygen equivalent parameter. In such systems, where oxygen reduction is the key cathodic reaction, the corrosion process may be under cathodic activation control, independent of flow at higher velocities or when erosion-corrosion begins. In this work, theoretical polarisation curves were constructed by using published oxygen and chlorine cathodic limiting currents (iLc) on carbon steel and a noble metal electrode, respectively. Aerated (200 ppb and 9000 ppb of oxygen) and deaerated conditions (50 ppb of oxygen) and the presence of 300 ppb of chlorine were applied to the assumed exchange current densities (io). Neutral (pH 7) and acid (pH 4) conditions (considering the presence of CO2) were also assumed to be at room temperature and pressure. Since the corrosion rate in lower oxygen concentrations (ppb order of magnitude) may result in corrosion rates of the same order of magnitude than in higher oxygen concentrations (ppm order of magnitude) when comparing and analysing results from experimental, semi-empirical or mechanistic approaches, it is necessary to weigh up the effects of both steel surface (bare or scaled/corrosion products) and flow. At oxygen concentrations below 200 ppb and under acid conditions, the contribution of H+ reduction on corrosion rate starts to be higher than oxygen reduction, mainly in the absence of chlorine.
