Effect Of Environmental Parameters On Atmospheric Corrosion Of Infrastructures Of Canada

Structural steel, which is a critical component of many infrastructures, can suffer from deterioration of steel by reaction with air and its pollutants known as atmospheric corrosion when exposed to the
environment. The risks associated with corrosion of newly-built and ageing infrastructure are high and their consequences costly. The recent International Measures of Prevention, Application, and
Economics of Corrosion Technologies (IMPACT) study led by NACE International (now renamed as
AMPP) has shown for Canada the estimated annual corrosion cost to be $51.9 billion, which is 2.9
% of Canada’s GDP.

Atmospheric corrosion plays a critical role in structural metal loss and thus infrastructure service life. Since the 1920’s, many studies have focused on the effect of environmental parameters on the corrosion of major construction metals and it has been shown that chlorides, pollutants in the air such as sulfur dioxide, temperature, and relative humidity are the main environmental factors affecting the corrosion rate. Several studies have come up with a dose response function to predict the corrosion rate of a specific metal based on the environmental factors it is exposed to. The predicted corrosion rate is a critical design factor to secure safe and reliable infrastructure performance during its design service life. Therefore, future climatic changes in the environment may need to be considered when selecting a proper material and its required thickness as changes in environmental factors due to climate change in certain regions may affect the corrosion rates. Currently, historical data is used for designing infrastructures without considering the future climatic changes. This study summarizes the effort on atmospheric corrosion programs involving Canada’s climate and illustrates the changes in corrosion rate of carbon steel in the City of Montreal over the past 70 years and up to 80 years in the future using the projections of climatic models. The goal is to demonstrate the effect of climate change and the variation in atmospheric exposure conditions for future durability designs of infrastructures such as bridges against atmospheric corrosion.

Carbon steels such as API 5L X65 are widely used oil and gas exploration, production and transportation service. However, these steels tend to corrode in the presence of wet CO2 and corrosion is more pronounced in the presence of dissolved salts and acids. Other metals, alloys and polymers also degrade in the presence of high pressure gaseous and supercritical CO2. The corrosion rate of carbon steels in some aqueous environments have been reported to be more than a few millimeters per year.9-10 The situation could be further exacerbated by H2S where cracking can be an issue for high strength steels.

Corrosion inhibitors are used to prevent pipeline corrosion in oil and gas industry. The evaluation of corrosion inhibitors is one of the most important tasks for the corrosion engineers. Corrosion of the metal is suppressed by the inhibitor adsorption on the metal surface. Active ingredients of corrosion inhibitors are, in general, surfactants. A surfactant can adsorb on the internal metal surface of piping and makes a hydrophobic film preventing the contact of water with the metal surface.

With the rapid development of China's economy, energy and transportation industries have developed rapidly, and more and more oil and gas pipelines and urban rail transit have been built and put into use. Urban rail transportation systems, such as subways or light rail, generally use direct current traction and backflow through the rail. Because the track is not completely insulated from the earth, it is inevitable that some electric current will be discharged from the track to the earth to form stray electric current, which will cause interference to the surrounding metal components such as buried oil and gas pipelines.
