Effect of Chromium on Corrosion Behavior of P110 Steels in CO₂-H₂S Environment with High Pressure and High Temperature.

ABSTRACT: The novel Cr-containing low alloy steels have exhibited good corrosion resistance in CO₂ environment, mainly owing to the formation of Cr-enriched corrosion film. In order to evaluate whether it is applicable to the CO₂ and H₂S coexistence conditions, the corrosion behavior of low-chromium steels in CO₂-H₂S environment with high pressure and high temperature was investigated using weight loss measurement and surface characterization. The results showed that P110 steel suffered localized corrosion and both 3Cr-P110 and 5Cr-P110 steels exhibited general corrosion. However, the corrosion rate of 5Cr-P110 was the highest among them. The corrosion process of the steels was simultaneously governed by CO₂ and H₂S. The outer scales on the three steels mainly consisted of FeS1-x crystals, whereas the inner scales on Cr-containing steels comprised of amorphous FeS1-x, Cr(OH)₃ and FeCO₃, in contrast with the amorphous FeS1-x and FeCO₃ mixture film of P110 steel. The more chromium the steel contains, the more chromium compounds the corrosion products contain. The addition of chromium in steels increases the uniformity of the Cr-enriched corrosion scales, eliminates the localized corrosion, but cannot decrease the general corrosion rates. The formation of FeS1-x may interfere with Cr-enriched corrosion scales and lowering the corrosion performance of 3Cr-P110 and 5Cr-P110 steels.

Project description:Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) poses a significant challenge to various industries, leading to substantial economic losses and potential safety hazards. Despite extensive research on the MIC resistance of various materials, there is a lack of studies focusing on High Chromium White Iron (HCWI) alloys, which are widely used in wear-resistant applications. This study addresses this knowledge gap by providing a comprehensive investigation of the MIC resistance of three HCWI alloys with varying chromium contents (22 wt%, 30.7 wt%, and 21 wt%) in the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. Aeruginosa), a common bacterial species associated with MIC. The alloys were exposed to an artificial seawater medium inoculated with P.Aeruginosa for 14 days, and their corrosion behaviour was evaluated using electrochemical techniques, surface analysis, and microscopy. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) results revealed that the alloy with the highest chromium content (A2, 30.7 wt% Cr) exhibited superior MIC resistance compared to the other alloys (A1, 22 wt% Cr and M1, 21 wt% Cr). The enhanced performance of alloy A2 was attributed to the formation of a more stable and protective passive film, as well as the development of a more compact and less permeable biofilm. The EIS data, interpreted using equivalent circuit models, showed that alloy A2 had the highest charge transfer resistance and the lowest biofilm capacitance, indicating a more effective barrier against corrosive species. Bode plots further confirmed the superior corrosion resistance of alloy A2, with higher impedance values and phase angles at low frequencies compared to alloys A1 and M1. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy analyses corroborated these findings, showing that alloy A2 had the lowest pit density and size after 14 days of exposure. The insights gained from this study highlight the critical role of chromium content in the MIC resistance of HCWI alloys and have significant implications for the design and selection of materials for applications prone to microbial corrosion.
