Corrosive environmental media may lead to a significant degradation of the mechanical properties of the materials. Individual experimental investigation and analysis concepts are available at the Institute of General and Analytical Chemistry for the evaluation of different materials under pressurized hydrogen. Hydrogen technologies will enable decarbonization.

As part of the Horizon 2020 project HyStories, the possibility of hydrogen storage in old, depleted gas reservoirs and natural gas storage facilities is being investigated throughout Europe. Within the scope of this project, the work package “materials and corrosion” has the objective of testing the applicability of selected pipe materials with respect to hydrogen embrittlement. For this purpose, a welded carbon steel grade J55 with a ferritic-pearlitic microstructure was investigated by using high pressure high temperature autoclave tests, permeation tests and analysis of uptaken hydrogen. For the autoclave tests, tensile samples have been examined that were loaded by a spring at 90% of yield strength, and samples were also examined to determine the hydrogen uptake. After completion of the tests, the hydrogen uptake was analyzed by thermal desorption spectroscopy. Four main gas compositions were used for the autoclave tests: 120 bar H2, 120 bar H2 + 15 bar CO2, 120 bar H2 + 1 bar H2S, and 120 bar H2 + 15 bar CO2 + 1 bar H2S whereby the tests were carried out with and without the addition of electrolytes with a concentration of 1 and 200 g/l sodium chloride. Moreover, the experiments were conducted at room temperature and 120°C. Test duration was 720 hours. Prior to autoclave testing effective diffusion coefficient was determined to characterize diffusion behavior of hydrogen through the weld material. Results show a low hydrogen uptake even at most severe conditions. Additionally no specimens failed during autoclave constant load testing. Welded J55 is recommended as a suitable tube material for subsurface hydrogen storage.

Coating standards specify the required surface conditions needed prior to coating. A maximum amount of soluble salts of 20 mg/m2 is widely adopted as acceptation criteria, according to standard NORSOK M-5011. However, meeting these requirements for thermal spray aluminium coatings (TSA) in offshore environments is challenging due to the ubiquitous nature of water-soluble salts.

Localized corrosion is known as the most dangerous and unpredictable corrosion mechanisms found in hydrocarbon production and transmission systems. This mode of corrosion has the potential to cause serious financial loss, environmental damage, production interruption, and even loss of life. Over the years, corrosion engineers have made significant improvements on prediction and mitigation techniques to extend the lifespan of carbon steel pipelines, such as using of corrosion inhibitors; injection of such chemicals has proven to be effective and economic, making them a first choice over other alternatives

Once polymers are used reliably in a specific service, they become the material of choice due to their cost effectiveness. However, to choose and apply polymers dependably, one must consider their unique properties – they are different from the metals we use industrially. Through various examples of damaged and failed parts, this paper illustrates fundamental information about choosing, using, and keeping polymers in service. Polymers are subject to permeation, oxidation, aging, fatigue, installation damage, and other damage.
