Influences of temperature and CO2 partial pressure on CO2 corrosion behaviors of 25CrMnVA steel were investigated in the simulated oil field environments. The corrosion rates were measured under high temperature and high pressure condition. SEM, EDS and XRD were used to analyze the morphologies and characteristics of corrosion scales on the steels. The results shows that the corrosion rates of 25CrMnVA steel change little below 65°C, the corrosion feature is uniform corrosion. The corrosion rates increase rapidly after 65°C, mesa corrosion is found on the surface of steel. The corrosion rates decrease firstly and increase subsequently with the rising of CO2 partial pressure, and the minimal corrosion rate presents near CO2 critical pressure. The compactness of corrosion scale improves with the increase of CO2 partial pressure below 8MPa, which causes uniform corrosion rate reduced. Under supercritical CO2 condition, the local defects in the surface of corrosion scale increase, and the compactness of corrosion scale reduces,which cause the increase of corrosion rate sharply. The corrosion rate and corrosion morphology are closely related to the state of corrosion scale.

The CO2/H2S corrosion behaviors of oil tube steels N80 and P110 at different CO2 partial pressure (45psi, 135psi, 225psi, 315psi) were investigated by corrosion tests, corrosion rate calculation and corrosion morphology observation. The results show that at different CO2 partial pressure, super-serious CO2/H2S corrosion occurs on steel N80 and steel P110. With the increase of CO2 partial pressure, the CO2/H2S corrosion rates of both steels increase gradually.

The CO2/H2S corrosion behaviors of oil tube steels N80 and P110 at different H2S partial pressure (0.2psi, 3psi, 9psi, 18psi) were investigated by autoclave corrosion tests, corrosion rate calculation and corrosion morphology observation. The results show that with the increase of H2S partial pressure the CO2/H2S corrosion rates of both steels increase at first and then decrease after the peaks appear at 3psi H2S.

The CO2/H2S corrosion behaviors of oil tube steels N80 and P110 at different temperature were investigated by corrosion rate calculation and corrosion morphology observation. The results show that with the increase of temperature, the CO2/H2S corrosion rates of both steels increase at first and then decrease, and reach the peak at 90°C. The corrosion rate of steel P110 is higher than that of steel N80.

The corrosion behaviors of peak-aged Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloys in CO2atmosphere under different relative humidity were investigated by OM, SEM. The weight loss rates, corrosion morphology and residual mechanical properties were also analyzed. The corrosion rates of specimens in CO2atmosphere at 70% relative humidity were highest than others. Relevancy of the influence factors included relative humidity and concentration of CO2were researched. The results show that relative humidity and concentration of CO2in the environment both played an important role in corrosion behaviors.

The corrosion behavior of a 15Cr-6Ni-2Mo martensitic stainless steel (15Cr stainless steel) in a CO2/H2S environment was investigated by conducting high-temperature/high-pressure immersion tests combined with scanning electron microscopy and metallographic microscopy. The presence of H2S decreased the corrosion resistance of the 15Cr tubing steel. The critical H2S partial pressure (PH2S) for stress corrosion cracking in the 15Cr tubing steel in the simulated oil field environment with a CO2 partial pressure of 4 MPa and an applied stress of 80% σs was identified. The 15Cr tubing steel mainly suffered uniform corrosion with no pitting and cracking when the PH2S was below 0.5 MPa. When the PH2S increased to 1 MPa and the test temperature was 150 °C, the pitting and cracking sensitivity increased. The stress corrosion cracking at a higher PH2S is attributed to the sulfide-induced brittle fracture.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion behaviors of X70 steel under direct current (DC) interference at 0-1,200 A/m2 in simulated soil solution. Design/methodology/approach The Tafel polarization curves of X70 steel under DC interference were tested using electrochemical method, the corrosion rate was calculated using weight-loss method and the change in steel surface was analyzed by optical microscopy. Findings The results showed that E-I polarization curves under 200-1,200 A/m2 interference were linear; with an increase in the DC density, the corrosion potential of X70 steel shifted positively, solution pH after the weight-loss tests increased and corrosion rate increased linearly. A mathematical relationship between polarization resistance Rp and current density was established. Corrosion morphology indicated that pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion occurred on the X70 steel under DC interference in simulated soil solution. Originality/value All tests were conducted at a relative higher DC density (200-1,200 A/m2). The linear fitting method is proposed to fit data of Tafel polarization curves under DC interference. This study provides guidelines for safe operation of X70 steel pipelines.

The Uranium and Titanium corrosion rates are described by a Tafel’s relationship, and the cathodic protection of Uranium is a function of a Wagner number. A numerical simulation of galvanic corrosion of Uranium surface under thin layer electrolyte is presented. The model considered that the effect of a circular defect and oxygen reduction and corrosion in the Uranium surface, the effect of electrolyte thickness and conductivity and defect radius on corrosion current distribution of Uranium with is investigated. The results shows that the corrosion rate at the center is non-uniform, and it could lead to the formation of a hemispherical-shaped pit. And the effect of radius is to increase the importance of the electrode kinetics relative to ohmic resistance, and to increase the potential difference between the center and edge of the Uranium surface, resulting in non-uniform corrosion current distribution.

In this article, wire beam electrode (WBE) was used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of ND steel in environmental acid atmosphere with different partial pressure of CO2. Meanwhile, corrosion products and surface morphology analysis also used to support this research. The results showed that the corrosion behavior began from the edge of droplet in dew point corrosion, and gradually spread to the center of it. The spread speed would be increasing with CO2 partial pressure enhance, which was 24h in 5% CO2 and 4h in 50% CO2. Corrosion current density in the edge of droplet can form the “cathode-anode-cathode ring” structure and disappears gradually as the corrosion time was going. Corrosion morphology observation results showed three ring shapes region and different elemental composition of different corrosion products, which is correspondence with the “cathode-anode We-cathode ring” structure measured in WBE experiments. The results showed that the reaction gradually transferred to the uniform corrosion on electrode surface when the dew point corrosion reaction reaching the late stage. It comes from the dissolution, diffusion and reaction of gaseous corrosion medium of CO2 and O2.

The corrosion behaviors of Al-Zn-Sn and Al-Zn-Sn-Ga alloys were investigated according to the results of immersion tests and corrosion morphology observation,and the Fermi energy of the precipitates was calculated by Materials Studio software for discussing the corrosion kinetics of precipitates . The results show that the Al-Zn phase with high Fermi energy (low corrosion potential) dissolved firstly, than caused the forming of Al-Ga amalgam which deposited between passive film and Al matrix. Meanwhile, the Al-Ga phase with higher Fermi energy dissolved too, which made the Al-Zn-Sn-Ga alloy continue to active, Finally, the Al-Zn-Sn-Ga alloy formed uniform corrosion morphology due to the effect of Al-Ga amalgam, while Al-Zn-Sn alloy formed the surface feature with the deep corrosion pits due to the "self-catalysis" mechanism.

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a technique used in oil and gas industries to increase the amount of crude oil production by injection of brine, a mixture of surfactant, water and seawater. As the results, crude oil contains brine which is corrosive. Surfactant is used to lessen the corrosion effect in addition to increase flowing of oil. In this study, the effect of surfactant on corrosion behavior of carbon steel in simulated enhanced oil recovery crude was investigated. Autoclave machine was used to perform corrosion experiment in the oxygen free environments. Corrosion rate was measure using weight loss method. The results show that surfactant reduces corrosion rate of carbon steel from 0.061 mm/y to 0.042 mm/y and the corrosion type on carbon steel was uniform corrosion.
