In the present study, the effect of temperature on the adsorption/desorption kinetics and thermodynamics of diethylenetriamine talloil fatty acid imidazoline (DETA/TOFA imidazoline) is studied on a gold coated crystal using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) in a CO2 saturated 1wt% NaCl aqueous solution.
In the oil and gas industry, long-distance transportation of petroleum and related products is usually carried out in large-diameter carbon steel pipelines. Water present with the oil, along with corrosive species such as CO2, H2S and organic acids, causes severe corrosion of the inner pipe walls.1 An effective method of controlling corrosion is to continuously inject corrosion inhibitors into pipelines conveying oil-water mixtures. As corrosion occurs on water wetted metal surfaces, corrosion inhibitor (CI) molecules form protective films which retard electrochemical reaction rates at the water-metal interface,2 thereby protecting carbon steel pipes against CO2 ("sweet") corrosion and H2S ("sour") corrosion. Most commercial CIs are a complex mixture of several compounds that contain surfactant-type active ingredients, such as imidazoline, amine, phosphate ester, and quaternary ammonium derivatives.
In sour (H2S) corrosion systems, a small amount of H2S can retard the general CO2 corrosion rate of carbon steel by forming a passive iron sulfide (FeS) layer [1], [2]. Environmental factors dictate the formation of protective or partially protective FeS layers on carbon steel surfaces. High H2S levels often result in stable films that reduce the corrosion rate, contingent upon the maintenance of the sulfide layer [2]. Conversely, in slightly sour systems, which initially form mackinawite (FeS) [3], the system has the potential to cause pitting and extremely high localized corrosion rates [2].
In spite of the current focus on promoting renewable energy, oil and gas will still remain the largest energy source to support energy demand by 2050. As the world’s 4th largest crude oil producer and 3rd exporter, Canada produces 4.97 MMb/d of crude oil as of 2020. As the depletion of conventional crude oil reserve, more efforts have been taken to economically exploit the unconventional resources including oilsands bitumen.
Measurement of uniform corrosion resistance in the presence of H2S, through polarization curves, and slip steps height and spacing, through Atomic Force Microscopy technique (AFM) have been performed.
Superduplex stainless steel UNS S32750 / EN 1.4410 presents very high corrosion resistance together with elevated mechanical strength making it especially suited for subsea systems. Despite the material excellent properties a number of in-service failures have been recorded especially when it is subjected to cathodic protection. This grade is also known to be sensitive to intermetallic phase precipitation e.g. σ-phase whose deleterious effect is well documented. Therefore manufacturers have optimized metallurgical routes to deliver superduplex products free from intermetallic phases. However very few residual particles may be present under the form of centerline intermetallic stringers and their effect on hydrogen embrittlement is not well documented.The present study aims at evaluating the influence of the intermetallic phases in centerline stringers on the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of superduplex stainless steel. Heat treatment have been performed on superduplex sheets in order to obtain different configurations of intermetallic phase – free from σ-phase presence of centerline intermetallic stringers presence of σ-phase over the full thickness. Specimens have been then tested by means of slow strain rate tensile test in simulated deep sea water (0.5 M NaCl 4 °C) under cathodic polarization at -1100 mV/SCE. All duplex microstructures and fracture surfaces were investigated using low and high magnification microscopy. The strain to fracture is estimated by the section reduction at the fracture surface and the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility is defined for each microstructure as the reduction of the strain to fracture compared to a reference test in deionized water at 4 °C (RAR).With the presence of hydrogen fracture mode changes from ductile to transgranular quasi-cleavage. No effect of centerline intermetallic stringers (up to 0.08% of sigma σ-phase) on hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility has been measured.Considering the sample with σ-phase over the full thickness the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement is artificially high due to the low initial ductility measured in the reference test. Therefore the influence of hydrogen was only insignificant as observed on the fracture surface which remains ductile.
High-strength materials with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties are highly sought after for use in light water reactor (LWR) type nuclear power plants (NPP). In western pressurized water reactors (PWR), nickel-base alloys are often the main structural materials for the steam generator (SG) tubes, while in Russian PWRs or water-water energetic reactor (VVER) high-nickel alloys, for example XH35BT (35 wt.% Ni), can be found in some primary side high strength applications, such as reactor pressure vessel internals (RVI).
Pitting corrosion susceptibility of UNS N06600, UNS N06690 and UNS N08800 was studied in pure 1 M NaCl with and without Na2S2O3 additions. The alloys were tested in the as-received (AR), solution annealed (SA) and aged (SA + A) conditions.
