Abstract
The electrochemical corrosion of the FV520B stainless steel for natural gas compressor impeller is studied by means of the uniform experimental method. The electrochemical corrosion potential, current density and Tafel slope of the material are measured, and the polarization resistance is solved. The experimental results show that FV520B material does not appear passivation area in the presence of the natural gas environment with H2S, and the material has been in the activation and dissolved state. When the temperature is below 130 °C, the corrosion is dominated by the process of the anode reaction, the concentration of H2S is the decisive factor to determine the occurrence of stress corrosion, the increase of H2S concentration significantly accelerates the corrosion process of the specimen, CO2 inhibits the occurrence of the stress corrosion to a certain extent.
