Abstract
Carbon steel usually has high corrosion rate in water with dissolved CO 2 however the steel surface can be covered by protective corrosion product film. Therefore the carbon steel can be widely used in oil and gas industry. This paper discusses the structure, electrochemistry performances, initiation and growth of protective corrosion product films. A duplex layer structure of FeCO 3 films was found by electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS). The physical and chemical situations of solution near carbon steel surface were investigated by ultraviolet spectrophotometry and chronopotentiometry. According to crystallography the growth mechanisms of protective CO 2 corrosion product films were discussed.
