08265 Modeling of Carbonate-Bicarbonate Stress Corrosion Cracking of Pipeline Steels

This project has been concerned with the physical and numerical modeling of the conditions developed under disbonded coatings on steel, with a view to understanding the processes responsible for the conditions that lead to stress corrosion cracking.

This project has been concerned with the physical and numerical modeling of the conditions developed under disbonded coatings on steel, with a view to understanding the processes responsible for the conditions that lead to SCC. The physical model (not presented in detail in this paper) has used a polymer film covering a crevice of controlled thickness, with a controlled gas composition (air augmented with additional CO2) on the exterior of the film. pH has been monitored at locations down the crevice using fibre-optic sensors, and potential has been monitored at the same locations using salt-bridge to conventional reference electrodes. A numerical model of the same system has been developed using a commercial finite element package.

Keywords: stress corrosion cracking, carbonate/bicarbonate, steel, numerical model
