Abstract
In order to study the electrochemical corrosion law for the 13Cr stainless-steel tubing material in a high-speed Cl-containing liquid, a high-speed-flow experiment and a small three-electrode system, embedded in a small pipe, were used. The open circuit potential (OCP), polarization curve (PC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the stainless-steel surface were tested in a medium with a flow velocity ranging from 10 to 22 m/s containing 1 w/% and 2 w/% of NaCl. By comparing it with the changes in the electrochemical-reaction parameters of the material in distilled water, the results of the experiment including the critical flow velocity, the change of corrosion rate and the electrochemical-reaction control steps were obtained. By theoretically solving the frictional force of the liquid against the wall surface and the adsorption capacity of the oxide film, and assuming that the oxide film is a macromolecular combination, the relationship between the adsorption capacity of different surface films and the critical flow velocity in the high-speed pipe flow was established. The results of this experiment and calculation can provide a preliminary prediction of the critical flow velocity corresponding to the inflection point of the wall-surface corrosion rate in an industrial pipe flow, thereby improving the process parameters and reducing the wall damage.
