Abstract
The effect of HNO3 and H2SO4 impurities on hydrogen permeation behavior and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of X70 steel in CO2-saturated water environment was investigated. Concurrently, a method for characterizing the contribution of corrosion-produced hydrogen to SCC was developed. HNO3 and H2SO4 boost the hydrogen permeation through promoting cathodic hydrogen evolution. The hydrogen embrittlement induced by corrosion-produced hydrogen, together with anodic dissolution, dominates the SCC process of X70 steel. The steel has much higher SCC susceptibility in H2SO4-containing environment than in HNO3-containing environment, which is closely related to the much stronger hydrogen embrittlement effect caused by H2SO4 than HNO3.
