T1 - Case studies N2 - In this paper, some quite different survey tasks are described, and it can be seen that corrosion surveys will follow a certain scheme of data acquisition (first NDT measurements, than detailed testing on suspect areas), but the individual scope of on-site measurements may have a vast variety according to the local circumstances, and the interpretation always has to refer to a wider set of information than the data readings only.

Starting with a recent failure case, a broken axle of a German high speed train, a discussion is presented on issues of both safety levels. These include ideas for finite life design, the treatment of in-service effects on the fatigue strength due to flying ballast damage and corrosion pits, the effect of corrosion on fatigue crack initiation and propagation, potential effects of non-metallic inclusions in steels, the way to detect them by quality control measures and reliability aspects of non-destructive testing with respect to the detection of fatigue cracks.

Allgemein üblich sind Wechseltauchversuche mit relativ hohem zeitlichem und auswertungsbedingtem Aufwand, die noch dazu zerstörend sind und teilweise fragwürdige Ergebnisse liefern. In den letzten Jahren wurden neue Ansatze der Prüfung geschaffen, die eine nahezu zerstörungsfreie Kurzzeit-Korrosionsprüfung erlauben. Es wird gezeigt, dass mit dem elektrochemischen Rauschen sehr empfindlich Einflüsse des Härtens und der Oberflächenbehandlung auf die Korrosionsbeständigkeit nachgewiesen werden können, wodurch eine schnelle und objektive Qualitätsbewertung innerhalb des Fertigungsprozesses und der Endkontrolle von Produkten möglich ist. Das für die Prüfmethodik ausgenutzte Phänomen des elektrochemischen Rauschens zielt darauf ab, den Beginn der Korrosion empfindlich und schnell zu detektieren, ohne die Prüfbedingungen maßlos zu verschärfen und Produkte damit zu zerstören. Neben der Funktionalität der Prüfung stehen aber auch die Anwenderfreundlichkeit und somit die Akzeptanz bei den Herstellern im Vordergrund. Aus diesem Grund wurde zusätzlich ein Indikatortest (KorroPad) als praxistaugliche Alternative zum elektrochemischen Rauschen angewendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine gute Übereinstimmung beider Methoden und ermöglichen eine effektive betriebliche Qualitätsüberwachung von Schneidwaren.

In order to slow down the corrosion rate an extrusion process and specific coating systems based on plasma-chemical oxidation (PCO) and organic dip coating with poly(ʟ-lactid-co-caprolacton) (PLLC) were applied on Mg–1Ca magnesium alloy. The additional PLLC coating is used to delay the start of substrate corrosion, while the purpose of the PCO coating is to decrease the substrate corrosion rate. The corrosion behaviour was investigated in synthetic body fluid (SBF) through measurement of the hydrogen evolution rate in long term tests and polarisation and electrochemical noise measurements in short term tests. The results showed significant differences between the cast and extruded alloys and a decrease of the corrosion rate due to corrosion product formation. The combination of both coating systems resulted in a significant delay of metal substrate corrosion and all coating systems showed good correlation between short and long term tests. The combination of the three investigation methods provides the possibility to gain more information about the degradation behaviour and break down of protective coatings.

The quality of such coatings depends mainly on the pretreatment and the exposure conditions after pretreatment. Since magnesium surfaces change much faster under atmospheric conditions than those of almost any other technical material, it is necessary to pay special attention to this particular feature. The activity of acid-pickled surfaces of the magnesium alloys AZ31 and AZ91 in dependence on the exposure time and the humidity conditions was investigated with electrochemical noise (EN) measurements. In addition to pickling, plasma chemical vapour deposition processes open new possibilities for an economical, as well as ecologically quite safe, pretreatment. The results of EN investigations after acid pickling as well as specific plasma oxidation treatments of the two magnesium alloys after exposure to air with different humidities are presented.

A1 - Kranzmann, Axel T1 - Corrosion behavior of steels for CO2 injection N2 - The process chain for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) includes tubing for injection of CO2 into saline aquifers. The compressed CO2 is likely to contain specific impurities; small concentrations of SO2 and NO2 in combination with oxygen and humidity are most harmful. In addition, CO2 saturated brine is supposed to rise in the well when the injection process is interrupted. The material selection has to ensure that neither CO2 nor brine or a combination of both will leak out of the inner tubing. In this comprehensive paper the investigated materials range from low-alloy steels and 13% Cr steels up to high-alloy materials. Electrochemical tests as well as long term exposure tests were performed in CO2, in brine and combination of both; pressure was up to 100 bar, temperature up to 60 °C. Whereas the CO2 stream itself can be handled using low alloy steels, combinations of CO2 and brine require more resistant materials to control the strong tendency to pitting corrosion. The corrosion behavior of heat-treated steels depends on factors such as microstructure and carbon content. For different sections of the injection tube, appropriate materials should be used to guarantee safety and consider cost effectiveness.

It is shown that an optimised solution annealing (T4-heat treatment) can reduce the degradation rate while an additional ageing between 240 and 300 °C (T6-heat treatment) increases it. A coating generated by plasma-chemical oxidation reduces the degradation rate in the immersion test. Its effect is depending on the former heat treatment of the Mg-1Ca alloy as well as on the parameter during plasma-chemical oxidation.

In the present work, the mobility and reactivity of acids in supercritical scCO2 was investigated. The corrosive attack of low alloyed carbon steel (material 1.0484) by water (H2O) alone in scCO2 was negligible. Nitric acid (HNO3) was very mobile and corrosive towards the carbon steel while sulfuric acid did not migrate through the scCO2 to react with the steel surface. Hydrochloric acid in scCO2 was very mobile and reactive towards both carbon steel and high alloyed test equipment. Gravimetric analyses revealed a severe material loss after corrosion in the presence of HNO3. Thickness measurements showed localized material losses.

This study focuses on the laser weldability of a commercial lean duplex and an austenitic high manganese stainless steel. The impact of different laser sources, i.e. a 5 kW CO2- and a 4 kW Nd:YAG-laser, and of the main process parameters on the resulting weld quality will be investigated. One important aspect will concern the appearance of weld defects such as pores and hot cracks. The factors causing such internal imperfections will be analysed in order to find effective methods for preventing them. Weld microstructure and the associated corrosion and mechanical properties will be assessed with different techniques and adequate process parameters for high quality welds will be determined.

The reliability of the steels used at a geological onshore CCS-site in the Northern German Bassin 42CrMo4 (1.7225, AISI 4140) used for casing, and the injection pipe steels X46Cr13 (1.4034, AISI 420 C), X20Cr13 (1.4021, AISI 420 J) as well as X35CrMo17 (1.4122) is demonstrated in laboratory experiments. Samples were kept in a synthetic aquifer environment at T = 60 °C. This corrosive environment is then saturated with technical CO2 at a flow rate of 3 l/h. Microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, after a series of heat treatments (700 h to 2 years). The non-linear isothermal surface corrosion behaviour of the steels reveals surface corrosion rates around 0.1–0.8 mm/year, when obtained by mass gain. Severe pit corrosion (pit heights ca. 4.5 mm) are only located on the injection pipe steels. Main phases of the continuous scales are siderite FeCO3 and goethite α-FeOOH. The formation of the non-protective layer is likely to form via a transient Fe(OH)2-phase.

In CrMnNi steels, nickel is partially replaced by lower-cost manganese and small amounts of nitrogen for stabilization of the austenitic phase. This also brings benefits regarding the mechanical properties, as it results in an increased material strength. Laser beam welding of such materials was investigated for direct comparison with standard CrNi steels. Main emphasis was laid on finding adequate process parameters to achieve a stable welding process and obtain a good weld quality. Two different laser sources, a 4.4 kW Nd:YAG and a 5 kW CO2 laser, were used to weld 1.5 mm stainless steel sheets in continuous wave mode. A high-Mn austenitic (1.4376) and a lean duplex (1.4162) steel, as well as the standard austenitic (1.4301) and duplex (1.4362) grades were selected as test materials. Both butt and lap joint configurations were studied. Experiments were carried out systematically, varying the welding speed, laser power and focal point position in order to determine adequate process windows. The influence of the shielding gas type and flow rate on the process stability and the weld quality were investigated. The effects of weld edge preparation on the weld appearance and quality levels attained were also examined. The obtained welded joints were subjected to radiographic tests for detection of internal imperfections. Also a metallurgical characterization of the samples regarding the resulting phase composition or balance and hardness depending on the welding process parameters was conducted. Furthermore, tensile and potentiodynamic tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical and corrosion properties, respectively. The results provide an insight into the advantages and limitations of the laser beam welding process for joining high-manganese alloyed stainless steels. Conditions for the production of defect-free and corrosion-resistant welds having good mechanical properties could be determined.

Conditions at both high and low temperatures were simulated in specially designed experiments. Carburization occured in flue gases with high CO2 content and temperatures higher than 500 °C. In SO2 containing flue gases sulphur was detected in the oxide scale. At lower temperatures no corrosion was observed when gases with low humidity were investigated. Humidity higher than 1500 ppm was corrosive and all steels with Cr contents lower than 12% revealed corroded surfaces. At low temperatures below 10 °C a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acid condensed on metal surfaces. Acid condensation caused severe corrosion. Humidity, CO2, O2, and SO2 contents are the important factors determining corrosion. Below 300 °C acid condensation is the primary reason for corrosion. Low humidity and low temperatures are conditions which can be expected in the CO2 separation and treatment process. This work includes major conditions of the flue gas and CO2 stream in CCS plants and CCS technology.

A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Mechanical properties of weldbonded joints of advanced high strength steels N2 - In lightweight car body shell mass production, due to requirements on vehicle weight reduction and carbon dioxide emissions, joining of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) with different joining procedures and especially hybrid bonding techniques is becoming more and more important. One of these hybrid bonding techniques is the combination of resistance spot welding and adhesive bonding called weldbonding. One of the important advantages of weldbonded joints in comparison to resistance spot welded joints are the enhanced mechanical properties. To guarantee sufficiently high quality conditions regarding the strength of the weldbonded joints, the influences of the applied adhesive systems and of different base metal combinations are studied. This is carried out for both non-corrosive and corrosive environments and for the choice of different joining parameters settings. In particular, the mechanical behaviour of the weldbonded joints is investigated under quasi-static, impact and fatigue loads. Furthermore, the energy absorption of the weldbonded joints for both non-corrosive and corrosive environments is studied. It is shown that the weldbonded joints possess higher mechanical strengths in all load cases (quasi-static, impact and fatigue). Corrosive attack affects weldbonded joints, and the quasi-static strength is reduced. Resistance spot welded joints are not affected by the corrosive attack, but even after several weeks of corrosive attack, the quasi-static strength of weldbonded joints remains higher than that of resistance spot welded joints.

In this respect, the influence of different surface treatments on the corrosion resistance of Type 304 (UNS S30400) stainless steel to pitting corrosion has been evaluated by means of potentiostatic electrochemical noise measurements and surface characterization.

A1 - Stelling, Karen A1 - Gumenyuk, Andrey T1 - Single-pass laser-GMA hybrid welding of 13.5 mm thick duplex stainless steel N2 - Single-pass solid-state laser welding of plates in the thickness range of 10 to 20 mm became possible with the invention of the fibre laser. This new technique provides excellent beam quality at powers as high as 20 kW or more, and has proved applicable in several industrial applications. By replacing conventional methods with the fibre laser, it is possible to avoid multiple-pass welding that requires time-consuming bevelling. The high energy density of the fibre laser beam also reduces the heat input and consequently the distortion. However, the rapid solidification and cooling associated with laser welding can cause imbalance of the microstructure of duplex stainless steel weldments, where excessively high ferrite contents may reduce the corrosion resistance and the ductility of the material. The solution is normally to add nickel-based filler wire and to increase the heat input. By using a hybrid welding process where the laser beam and the gas metal arc (GMA) process act in a common process zone, filler metal can be added to the molten pool at higher heat input and at the same time, higher welding speed and deeper penetration can be achieved. In this work, 13.5 mm thick 2205 (EN 1.4462, UNS S31803) was fibre laser-GMA hybrid welded in a single-pass using 14 kW of laser power and ISO 22 9 3 N L as filler wire for the GMA process. The resulting welds were free from defects, with smooth surfaces and full penetration. The investigation examines the weld metal microstructure and the effect on corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The option to add nickel foil, when hybrid welding, was also investigated, as comparison, and the effect on austenite formation was evaluated.

T1 - Comparative investigation of stainless steels used in drinking water distribution systems N2 - Five stainless steel alloys were tested and compared to find a test method for the qualification of stainless steel used in drinking water systems. Determination of the pitting/critical potentials from the conventional cyclic polarization results was shown to be difficult when stainless steels have high Mo and Cr content. The electrochemical impedance data indicated that results received with the conventional methods do not necessarily reflect the steady state. The low frequency time constant determined from the impedance measurements showed that the anodic polarization should be conducted with very slow scan rate to get information about the mechanism.

These coatings withstood heat treatments at 700 °C in a water vapour containing atmosphere. The heat treatment caused formation of delta-alumina in the coating and diffusion of chromium and titanium into the coating.

In the recent literature, some indications are presented that repassivation occurs after a certain time of polarisation. Therefore, the investigations discussed in this paper aim to clarify, to what extent the re-passivation of carbon steel due to cathodic polarisation occurs, and if the ennoblement of OCP is a sufficient indication for repassivation. In a first step, the corrosion state of five nominal equal test specimens was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). After determining the initial corrosion state by evaluating the charge transfer resistance and the polarisation resistance, respectively, the specimens were polarised cathodically. Impedance data were recorded before, during and after polarisation. The impedance data were evaluated by equivalent circuit fitting with special attention to charge transfer resistances and the impact of diffusion on the corrosion and polarisation behaviour. The results indicate that the reduction of oxides and oxygen diffusion during cathodic polarisation has strong impact on the systems behaviour and that repassivation effects occur after switching off the polarisation current and during depolarisation, respectively.

A1 - Müller, Ralf T1 - Corrosion and crystallization at the inner surfaces of glass bricks N2 - Glass bricks are important transparent building materials. They are produced by joining two halves of glass pressings at 600–700 °C. During this production process alkali oxides evaporate and are redeposited at the cooler inner front surfaces of the bricks. This surface layer reacts with H2O and CO2 from the residual brick atmosphere, leading to the formation of an alkali-rich silicate-hydrate layer of ≥50 nm thickness, which could be evidenced leading to a reduced nano-hardness of similar thickness, and from which NaHCO3 crystals can finally grow. Climate chamber experiments (repeated cooling between at -8 and -14 °C and reheating to 0 to 15 °C) resulted in reversible NaHCO3 crystallization and redissolution, presumably influenced by water evaporation or condensation and driven by the NaHCO3 supersaturation of the silicate-hydrate layer. Depending on the time–temperature schedule, different crystal morphologies became visible in this closed system, e.g. isolated spherical crystals, crystals arranged in chains and in double-chains, respectively, which can limit already the transmittance of the glass bricks. When a crack occurs or the brick is opened, the hygroscopic NaHCO3 crystals take up more H2O from the ambient, react irreversibly with the glass surface, finally leading to a total loss of transmittance.

The corrosion protection effect is usually based on theoretical considerations and is proven by short-term tests. The selection of the different products is mainly made according to economical or workability criteria. In a research project the barrier effect of different commercial corrosion protection materials (waxes as well as oil-based greases) against water, their tendency for undercutting as well as their additional corrosion protection effect were investigated. The exposure tests were carried out with non-stressed as well as stressed prestressing steel specimens which were subjected to critical conditions (condensed water, artificial soil solution, direct soil contact). Parallel to these long-term exposure tests the applicability of different electrochemical techniques and their significance with respect to testing the corrosion protection ability and water absorption was evaluated. Within the project a suitable method for simple testing the performance of corrosion protection materials under real conditions was developed. By means of a small compact cell submicroscopical reactions of the used sensors could be measured. The high sensitivity of this measuring technique enables the detection of degradation processes at thin protection layers.

Bei dem verwendeten Werkstoff handelt es sich um einen in der ehemaligen DDR hergestellten vergüteten Stahl der Festigkeitsklasse St 140/160. Ursache für die Anrisse ist die in Laborversuchen nachgewiesene Empfindlichkeit dieses Stahles gegenüber wasserstoffinduzierter Spannungsrißkorrosion, die unter ungünstigen Bedingungen dazu führen kann, daß Vorschädigungen vor dem Verpressen eintreten. Zusätzlich durchgeführte Magnetpulverprüfungen an ausgewählten Bereichen der Längsvorspannung ergaben keinerlei Hinweise auf Anrisse. Translated Abstract Stress corrosion cracking of prestressing steels During the investigation of a post-tensioned bridge structure incipient cracks of the prestressing steels of the transverse prestressed members were observed. Defects related to non-injected ducts or the presence of corrosion inducing substances could not be detected. The prestressing steel used is a quenched and tempered steel, strength class St 140/160, which was produced in the former GDR. The cause for the cracks is the susceptibility of this type of steel to hydrogen-induced stress corrosion cracking as could be shown in laboratory tests. Under unfavourable conditions cracks can be initiated before grouting. Additional magnetic particle tests at selected areas of the longitudinal prestressed members did not indicate any signs for incipient cracks.

In all these cases a quenched and tempered steel type, strength class St. 1420/1570 was used. In order to assess the corrosion risk, i.e. crack initiation and propagation, under depassivating conditions lifetime tests in environments relevant for building practice were carried out using different prestressing steels of this quenched and tempered type of material. From the results it can be concluded that the specific susceptibility of certain prestressing steels is the determining factor with respect to the occurrence of cracks rather than environmental factors. Translated Abstract Untersuchungen zum wasserstoffinduzierten Sprödbruch vergüteter Spannstähle In den letzten Jahren ist es verschiedentlich zu Schadensfällen von Spannbetonbauteilen gekommen, bei denen vergüteter Spannstahl der Festigkeitsklasse St 1420/1570 eingesetzt war. Durch systematische Untersuchungen an verschiedenen Typen dieser Stahlsorte sollte geklärt werden, ob unter depassivierenden Bedingungen Rißeinleitung und -ausbreitung unter praxisnahen Verhältnissen zu erwarten ist. Die durchgeführten Untersuchungen lassen folgern, daß die spezifische Anfälligkeit des Spannstahls für das Auftreten von Rissen einen wesentlich höheren Einfluß besitzt als die elektrolytseitigen Parameter, da sich die verschiedenen Stähle auch bei vergleichbaren Korrosionsangriffen unterschiedlich verhalten.
