51318-10990-Localized Corrosion of Mild Steel under Iron Sulfide Layers in CO2/H2S Environment

Picture for Localized Corrosion of Mild Steel under Iron Sulfide Layers in CO2/H2S Environment
Available for download

Mild steel specimens (API 5L X65) were pretreated to form a pyrrhotite layer on the surface using high temperature sulfidation in oil, then exposed to a range of aqueous CO2 and H2S corrosion environments, leading to initiation of localized corrosion.

Due to the electrical conductivity of pyrrhotite it was hypothesized that its presence in the corrosion product layer on a steel surface could lead to localized corrosion. Mild steel specimens (API 5L X65) were pretreated to form a pyrrhotite layer on the surface using high temperature sulfidation in oil. The pretreated specimens were then exposed to a range of aqueous CO2 and H2S corrosion environments at 30 and 60C. X-ray diffraction data showed that the pyrrhotite layer changed during exposure; in an aqueous CO2 solution it underwent dissolution while in a mixed CO2/H2S solution it partially transformed to troilite, with some mackinawite formation. This led to initiation of localized corrosion in both cases.

Propagation of the localized attack was enhanced due to a galvanic coupling between the pyrrhotite layer and the steel surface. The intensity of the observed localized corrosion varied with solution conductivity (NaCl concentration); a more conductive solution resulted in higher localized corrosion rates consistent with the galvanic nature of the attack propagation.
