Corrosion Behavior Of Welded Austenitic Stainless Steels In Coastal Atmospheric Environment

Austenitic stainless steels (SS) are the candidate materials for dry storage canisters. In general, high corrosion resistance is one of the advantageous properties of austenitic stainless steels. However, austenitic stainless steels are susceptible to chloride induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) when three criteria are satisfied: susceptible materials, tensile stress and corrosive environments. Dry storage canisters are located at a coastal site in Taiwan, as a result, canisters are exposed to high concentration of moisture and chloride salts under atmospheric environments.

Internal corrosion and sulfide stress cracking (SSC) are problems for steel pipelines transporting natural gas or CO2 containing partial pressures of H2S higher than 0.3 kPa (0.05 psi). The objective of this work is to mitigate internal corrosion and SSC in steel pipelines transporting natural gas containing H2S using cold spray coatings. Two types of the cold spray binary metallic coatings (zinc chromium (ZnCr), zinc niobium (ZnNb)) were studied using electrochemical techniques: potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), linear polarization resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The evaluation of the corrosion resistance of cold spray coatings (ZnCr, ZnNb) was carried out in an environment containing 4 bar CO2 pressure, simulating the partial pressures that are found in gas transmission lines over a solution of 3.5 wt.% NaCl heated to 40 °C. To simulate sour conditions, a concentration of 0.003 M Na2S2O3.5H2O, which corresponds to H2S partial pressures around 0.079 bar (1.146 psi), was used. Post-corrosion surface characterization was performed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The data showed that the presence of 0.003 M Na2S2O3.5H2O shifted the corrosion potential to more anodic values and decreased the corrosion current density. Bothcoatings showed similar behavior after 1 hour of exposure in CO2/H2S environment, which indicated that similar electrochemical reactions were taking place on ZnNb and ZnCr. SEM images and EDS surface analyses for specimens showed a significant change in surface chemical composition of carbon steel coated with ZnNb and ZnCr, after 24 hours of immersion. No localized attack was observed. The EDS analysis and XRD results revealed the presence of zinc sulfide (ZnS).

The rate of deterioration of concrete structures is normally affected by the rate at which harmful substances can penetrate into the concrete. Aggressive substances can move into concrete by different transport mechanisms. The main transport mechanisms that could promote the deterioration of concrete structures are diffusion, permeation, capillary absorption and migration. The rate of chloride penetration into concrete has been found to depend on many factors including the porosity and permeability of concrete. Accordingly, concrete porosity is one of the most important parameters that influences the durability of concrete. Furthermore, when the concrete structures are subjected to aggressive environments such as marine environments the primary transport mechanism of chloride ion ingress is often diffusion. For that reason, the chloride diffusivity and porosity are very important durability parameters since they may play a major role in accelerating deterioration and thus reducing the service life of structure. Intensive experimental works were carried out where cement pastes specimens and concrete mixes were prepared at different w/c ratios mixed with 0, 2 and 3 % Electric Arc Furnace Dust addition. The results are very promising and revealed that addition of Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) reduced the coarse capillary porosity effectively and improved resistance to chloride ingress into concrete, hence this will improve corrosion resistance of reinforced concrete structures located in aggressive marine environment. More details in the results can be found in this paper.

Corrosion by Elemental Sulphur Deposition in Natural Gas Transmission Systems

Product Number: 51324-20918-SG

Author: I. Carrillo Salgado

Publication Date: 2024

The presence of orthorhombic elemental sulfur in a natural gas transmission system was detected. Different dust samples were taken from strainers and skids of a fuel gas turbomachinery. The presence of sulfur could cause corrosion problems and damage to the internal combustion system of a turbine. Characterization analyses were conducted to identify the principles and mechanisms associated with the formation and deposition of elemental sulfur in natural gas transmission and related equipment. Scanning electron microscopy / energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction were performed. Physicochemical parameters characterization by colorimetric methods on the samples was also done. The results suggest three potential deposition mechanisms: chemical reaction, condensate formation, and desublimation of sulfur. Each mechanism could interact with one or both of the others. This research has demonstrated that only sub-ppm levels of sulfur vapor within a gas stream are required to initiate the elemental sulfur formation/deposition process. However, the sulfur deposition could cause severe corrosion in the presence of free water. Recommendations were made to reduce the effect of the elemental sulfur deposition in the turbomachinery and associated gas natural transmission pipelines.

Extraction units are typically utilizing the solvents to dissolve the aromatics compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes from hydrocarbon stream. These solvents are organo-sulfur compound which is readily soluble in the water due to high polarity of oxygen-sulfur compounds.

Fresh solvents are not considered to be corrosive for carbon steel and stainless-steel components, however improper application and handling of this solvents will result in degradation of this products.

Corrosion Challenges in Processing Crude Oils: Influence of Active Sulfur Species and Corrosion Rates of Various Alloys

The depletion of conventional sweet oil resources has led to increased attention towards sour and acidic oil sources, which typically consist of lower-quality, corrosive crude oils with elevated concentrations of naphthenic acids and sulfur compounds. They are often referred to as “opportunity crudes” since they come at a lower price to refiners, but if successfully processed, they can result in a higher margin to the refinery. This paper focuses on an investigation of the impact of active sulfur species present in crude oils during processing. Corrosion rates of several common alloys were evaluated under stirred/pipe flow conditions in autoclaves. The experimental conditions closely simulated relevant refinery environments, encompassing temperatures ranging from 200°C to 370°C. The study assessed the influence of temperature, wall shear stress (WSS), and active sulfur content on corrosion rates. The results were derived from a comprehensive Joint Industry Program (JIP) conducted to quantify the influence of crude oil chemistry on naphthenic acid corrosion, understand the contributions of active sulfur chemistry to protection and FeS scale formation. The program also assessed the ability to resist naphthenic acid corrosion by utilizing beneficial sulfur speciation in the context of operational factors such as temperature and wall shear stress to build a prediction model to characterize the active sulfur level as a function of sulfur compound concentration and temperature, which is further utilized to predict corrosion rates of multiple alloys.

Cobalt (Co) - Chromium (Cr) based alloys are known for exhibiting a superior combination of corrosion resistance, erosion resistance, galling resistance, and high temperature strength. They have found a wide variety of applications in automotive, aerospace, chemical and biomedical applications. They are frequently known as the Stellite† grade of families (ex: Stellite† 1, Stellite† 6, Stellite† 12, Stellite† 21, etc.) and are broadly classified into the Co-Cr-Mo-C and the Co-Cr-W-C systems. The relatively high Carbon (C)and Tungsten (W) containing (Co-Cr) alloys are mostly used for their high wear properties.
