Several industrial applications including the chemical industry and oilfield technology involve frequently halide-containing streams at elevated temperatures, that challenge the pitting corrosion resistance of metallic materials. Pitting susceptibility becomes not only a reject criterion for materials selection during the design stages of engineering components used in these applications. It also constitutes a significant limiting factor to the service life of these components once in service. Therefore, the characterization of the pitting corrosion resistance of metallic materials including the influence that operational factors can have on material’s susceptibility is crucial.

To assess the influence of temperature on the pitting corrosion susceptibility of metallic materials intended to be used in industrial applications involving corrosive streams several methodologies are followed. The pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN), an empirical relationship purely based on the mass fraction of some alloying elements in the material is commonly used as a general indication for pitting resistance. The critical pitting temperature (CPT) is also frequently used to benchmark the susceptibility to localized corrosion of metallic materials. ASTM G48 and G150 standards describe the test methodologies for determining the CPT of stainless steels and nickel alloys in chloride-bearing solutions. However, standardized electrolytes do not always simulate accurately expected service conditions and have limited thermal stability, therefore, they might lead to conservative values. On the other hand, electrochemical methods can be used for characterizing the pitting susceptibility and repassivation behavior of alloys at expected service conditions, also at high temperatures. In the present study, the pitting corrosion resistance of eight metallic materials typically used in oilfield technology was characterized electrochemically in chloride solutions at temperatures ranking between room temperature and 150 °C and compared to the corresponding reported PREN and CPT-values. The intention is to demonstrate the lack of correlation between the real pitting resistance of most of these materials at elevated temperatures and the conclusions that might be drawn using PREN and CPT-values for predicting pitting susceptibility in service.

ECA technologies are not very well known in the oil and gas industry and are still undeservedly suffering from the bad reputation of traditional eddy current testing from twenty years ago. Eddy current techniques are often humorously compared to "black magic" in the sense that the results are difficult to understand, the probes are complicated to use, and only eddy current gurus can use it efficiently. However, ECA has evolved significantly over the past 15 years and is now much easier and more intuitive to use.

Pyrolysis processes of post-consumer plastics are a promising chemical recycling route and a good alternative to disposal. Nevertheless, these processes are challenging for metallic materials since chlorine containing materials or biological components inside the feedstock can yield HCl and H2S, respectively, during cracking. In combination with high temperatures of the reactor zone metallic construction materials can be attacked by high-temperature corrosion.

The spread of disbondment or corrosion from a scribe or holiday in a coating film, for which the terms rust creepage or undercutting are used in this paper is an important mechanism of coating degradation. The mechanism of rust creepage has been well studied by several authors who concur that the mechanism is driven by electrochemical reactions15. The reactions occurring at the discontinuity in the coating (scribe or holiday) involve an anodic reaction in which iron is dissolved. Adjacent to the anodic region, under the coating, a cathodic reaction occurs in which oxygen is reduced to hydroxyl ions.
