Abstract
Effects of hydrogen gas and Nitrate-Reducing Bacteria (NRB) on the corrosion and hydrogen permeation dynamics of X80 steel in simulated pipeline condensate water was investigated. Weight-loss analysis and electrochemical tests show a direct correlation between NRB-induced corrosion of X80 steel and the presence of hydrogen gas, particularly evident with escalating hydrogen blending ratios. Notably, corrosion primarily manifested through the formation of localized pitting, exhibiting a positive correlation with hydrogen blending ratios. Furthermore, the hydrogen permeating results show there is a synergistic enhancement of hydrogen permeating facilitated by the coexistence of hydrogen gas and NRB. Quantitative assessments of hydrogen permeability parameters highlighted significant amplifications in hydrogen diffusion flux (J) and apparent hydrogen concentration (Capp) under the combined influence of hydrogen and NRB, underscoring the complex interplay between these factors.
