5XXX-series aluminum has been used in multiple naval vessels because it offers excellent strength to weight ratios, weldability and low cost. Although 5XXX series aluminum alloys generally provide excellent corrosion resistance, exposure to moderately elevated temperatures (e.g., solar exposure) results in sensitization due to precipitation of the beta phase (Mg2Al3) at the grain boundaries. The sensitization of marine grade aluminum and subsequent material degradation due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and intergranular corrosion (IGC) is a severe problem, causing expensive repairs and out of service time.

Overview of latest advances in measuring and understanding cathodic protection current permeability by organic coatings

Shielding of cathodic protection (CP) by disbonded coatings is considered a “worst case scenario” for external corrosion in the pipeline industry. It has been hypothesized that if coatings were partially permeable to CP, the imbalance between cathodic and anodic reactions would induce a high pH environment under disbonded coatings and that would impede corrosion. However, direct experimental evidence of this process has been limited. Moreover, this line of reasoning is often inversed incorrectly assuming that the only reason for the presence of a high pH environment under disbonded coatings is their partial permeability to CP current.

The recent development of an electrochemical self-validating technique to measure the relatively small ionic currents that could permeate through defect free coatings has shed a new light on the topic. It has been found that most of the commercial pipeline coatings tested in unaged conditions present a CP shielding behavior. Accelerated hydrothermal ageing of fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings was performed to study the effect of water absorption. Ageing resulted in major plasticization, which increased the conduction of CP current through FBE coatings. However, FBE seems to be partially permeable to H+ and/or OH-, which reduces its ability to form and retain a high pH environment under disbonded coatings. In conjunction, these results thus indicate the extremely limited capability of commercial pipeline coatings to prevent corrosion in case of disbondment.

Overview Of Scale Issues And Treatment For Sour Water Strippers

Sour water stripping is used to remove ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from sour water streams coming from many operation units to condition it for discharge or reuse.^1-3 In a complex refinery, most of the sour water comes from distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic reforming, coker and acid gas removal units, with many other operations contributing to the balance. The different streams are usually collected in a surge tank for centralized processing via a heat exchanger and a single stripper column, or two in series.

Oxidation and Hydrogen Embrittlement Behavior of Several Additively Manufactured Ni-Based Superalloys

The environmental degradation of additively manufactured Ni-based superalloys (INCONEL® 625 (IN625), Haynes® 282® (H282), and INCONEL® 718 (IN718)), fabricated by laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF) and fully heat-treated, is being screened for hydrogen service in industrial gas turbines. Oxidation experiments in air, on printed and machined surface conditions at 750 °C for 164, 500, and 2,010 hours revealed thicker oxides for printed conditions for IN625 and H282 and thicker oxides for machined conditions for IN718. The chromium oxide that developed was thickest for H282 and showed higher incorporation of Ni/Fe-based oxides for the as-printed surfaces. Ex-situ hydrogen embrittlement was evaluated by electrochemically charging flat test bars for 72hours in 0.1 M H2SO4 + 1 g/L CH4N2S then slow strain rate tensile testing (0.0039 mm/min) at room temperature. All experienced reduction in strain failure of that lead to a hydrogen embrittlement index of 16%, 18%, and 30% for IN625, H282, and IN718, respectively. Oxidation kinetics showed the highest to smallest oxidation rate: H282, IN625, and IN718. The oxidation rates were higher on the as-printed surfaces for H282 and IN625 but lower for IN718. Topographical imaging of the fracture surfaces showed a 30-100 µm deep embrittlement zone at the surface developed during hydrogen charging, but no significant differences between charged and as-received specimens in the center where ductile dimpling behavior is dominate.

In this study, we first validated the oxidation performance of Alloy 800 (Fe-based alloy) and 625 (Ni-based alloy) within the temperature range of 700-1000 °C. After 24 hours of oxidation at 1000°C in air, the mass gain is measured as 2.53 and 1.86 mg/cm2 for Alloy 800 and 625, respectively, with their increase rates approximately reaching 6 times compared with those at 900 °C. The main oxidation scale in both two alloys is identified as a Cr2O3 layer with minor NiCr2O4 from 800-1000 °C. A crucial facet of this investigation involved subjecting the alloys to pre-oxidation treatment at 1000 °C for 24 hours, resulting in reduced mass gain during subsequent hot corrosion evaluations with NaCl/Na2SO4 salts at 900°C, particularly noticeable in Alloy 800, where a dense oxidation layer formed. However, cross-sections of both two alloys show a deep penetration by Na and O. These findings reveal the limited protective role of the Cr2O3 layer in augmenting resistance to hot corrosion while offering valuable insights into materials' performance in high-temperature environments and industrial applications.

Water vapor has significant effects on high temperature oxidation behaviors of high temperature alloys, especially on chromia-forming alloys due to oxidative evaporation of chromia scale. The objectives of this work are to study high temperature oxidation behaviors of commercial high temperature alloys, including seven chromia-formers, such as N06230, R30188, N08120, N06002, N06625, N06617, S34700, and three alumina-formers, such as N07214, NiCoCrMoAl, NiFeCrAl, at the temperatures from 760 to 1093°C (1400 to 2000°F) for up to one year exposure in the air atmospheres containing (5-30)% water vapor. The effects of water vapor content, temperature, heating/cooling condition, and alloy composition were analyzed from the results of metal loss and internal oxidation penetration, along with comparison with their oxidation behaviors tested in air without water vapor addition. The study shows, in general, water vapor could accelerate oxidation attack, and higher water vapor contents could cause more oxidation attack. However, high temperature oxidation behaviors of high temperature alloys will depend on multiple factors that need to be considered, especially when comparing oxidation results generated under different testing conditions.

Produced fluids in O&G sector in general do not contain oxygen, but oxygen ingress can occur at locations. Examples of such spaces can include but not limited to vapor space in tanks, custody transfers, injection pumps, vapor recovery systems, operating pumps with faulty seals, pipelines that are not properly purged of oxygen during commissioning operations, gas lift operations, methanol use or pigging operations.
This contamination of O2 in sweet/sour systems can lead to oxygen induced corrosion and may cause high general and pitting corrosion rates and failures.
