Abstract
This research aims to investigate the passivation and corrosion behaviour of modified S13Cr stainless steel (SS) in ultra-high temperature geothermal fluids. In this study, S13Cr SS before and after modified were both immersed in a simulated geothermal fluid environment with a temperature of 210°C and CO2 pressure of 3 MPa for 120 h. The results show that the modified S13Cr SS had smaller grain size and lower reverse austenite content, and exhibited higher transpassive potential and lower passive current density in the ultra-high temperature environment. After 120 h of immersion, the passivation film of the modified 13Cr SS was completely dissolved, and a corrosion product film mainly composed of FeCO3 and FeCr2O4 formed with localized corrosion occurring. Moreover, a Ni-rich barrier layer formed at the interface between the inner layer of the product film and the substrate, which hindered the penetration of the corrosive medium. Additionally, the residual MoO2 in the product film played a stabilizing role. Overall, the corrosion resistance of the modified S13Cr SS in ultra-high temperature geothermal fluids is improved.
