Abstract

Corrosion behaviors of P110 and N80 tubular steels in CO2 gas phase and supercritical (S-CO2) phase in a saturated water vapor environment were explored in corrosion weight loss experiments by SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS and cross-section analysis techniques. With the increase in CO2 partial pressure, the average corrosion rate increased first and then decreased. The average corrosion rate reached the maximum value under the near-critical pressure. When CO2 partial pressure further increased to be above the critical pressure, the average corrosion rate gradually decreased and local aggregation of molecules was weakened.

摘要

通过腐蚀失重实验研究了 P110 和 N80 钢管在气相 CO2 -饱和水蒸气环境和超临界 CO2 -饱和水蒸气环境中的腐蚀速率变化, 并通过 SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS 和截面技术对腐蚀产物进行了表面分析. 结果表明: 随着 CO2 分压的增加, 试样平均腐蚀速率先升高后降低; 在临界压力附近, 试样平均腐蚀速率达到最大值; 在高于临界压力后, 随着CO2 分压的进一步增加, 分子局部聚集现象减弱, 试样平均腐蚀速率降低.
