The specimens were pre-oxidized under isothermal conditions in water steam at 620 °C and 30 bar for 500 h or 1500 h. After pre-oxidation treatment, all specimens were subjected up to 258 thermal cycles. Three different geometries—rectangular coupons, U-shaped ring segments and ring samples—were investigated to evaluate the influence of open/closed shape, and flat/curved surface on corrosion rate. At the same time, two types of surface finish were considered: “as received” and “ground.” The formation of a protective scale by pre-oxidation was investigated. EBSD and ESMA analyses revealed that the Cr-content of the alloy appeared to be insufficient for obtaining a protective oxide scale under studied conditions, at the same time the anayses confirmed that initial oxidation depends on presence of minor alloying elements as Si and Mn, strong oxide formers which can alter the kinetics and morphology of the corrosion reaction. Moreover, rectangular coupons with small wall thickness and flat surface exhibited the highest corrosion rate, while “ground” curved samples showed only local oxidation. This indicates that for same pre-oxidation time, oxidation kinetics is controlled by curvature.

A1 - Kranzmann, Axel T1 - Understanding the Anomalous Corrosion Behaviour of 17% Chromium Martensitic Stainless Steel in Laboratory CCS-Environment—A Descriptive Approach JF - MDPI Clean Technologies N2 - To mitigate carbon dioxide emissions CO2 is compressed and sequestrated into deep geological layers (Carbon Capture and Storage CCS). The corrosion of injection pipe steels is induced when the metal is in contact with CO2 and at the same time the geological saline formation water. Stainless steels X35CrMo17 and X5CrNiCuNb16-4 with approximately 17% Cr show potential as injection pipes to engineer the Northern German Basin geological onshore CCS-site. Static laboratory experiments (T = 60 ◦C, p = 100 bar, 700–8000 h exposure time, aquifer water, CO2-flow rate of 9 L/h) were conducted to evaluate corrosion kinetics. The anomalous surface corrosion phenomena were found to be independent of heat treatment prior to exposure. The corrosion process is described as a function of the atmosphere and diffusion process of ionic species to explain the precipitation mechanism and better estimate the reliability of these particular steels in a downhole CCS environment.
