Abstract

As an attempt to contribute to the understanding of the corrosion processes of anti-sulfur steel in CO2 and H2S containing environment with different species, the corrosion behavior of SM 80SS tubing steel immersed in CO2 and H2S containing solution was analyzed in this work. To determine the corrosion behavior of SM80SS steel, the linear polarization resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used, as well as weight loss test and surface analysis. The results showed that the presence of Cl- quickened the anodic dissolution processes and rapidly increased the corrosion rate of SM 80SS steel, and that the addition of Ca2+ and Mg2+ reduced corrosion rate. The corrosion processes of SM 80SS steel were controlled by the electrochemical reaction in the initial period and then converted to be controlled by electrochemical and activation reaction with increasing Cl-.
