Corrosion resistance of duplex stainless Steel UNS S32101 and super austenitic stainless Steel UNS NO8031 (alloy 31) was investigated in crevice conditions in a corrosive environment (saline brine, T = 60 °C, C02-flow rate 3-5 L/h, normal pressure) using electrochemical and metallographic techniques. Rectangular rubber was used to form a metal/non-metal-crevice configuration.
Potentiodynamic measurements have been carried out in order to determine critical pitting and repassivation potentials. Potentiostatic measurements at different Potentials have been performed and the dependence of pit depth on the potential applied in crevice conditions was investigated. It was shown that the repassivation potential of duplex stainless Steel S32101 coincides with its corrosion potential. Strang pitting corrosion occurred after potentiodynamic measurements with pit depths up to 100 pm. Otherwise, stainless Steel UNS NO8031 shows about 0.5 V difference between the free corrosion potential and the repassivation potential and did not show any signs of pitting corrosion after polarization measurements. Slight rouging effects have been observed. By potentiostatic measurements on duplex stainless Steel S32101 potentials slightly more positive than the corrosion Potentials causing strong pitting corrosion, and pit depths up to 650 pm were measured. Super austenitic stainless Steel UNS NO8031 did not exhibit any signs of pitting corrosion even by applying potentials much more positive than the corrosion potential.
Within the project COORAL (German acronym for ''C02 purity for capture and storage") studies on pipeline steels exposed to circulating supercritical impure C02 have been carried out. For this purpose, a loop consisting of compressors, flow meter and two autoclaves was constructed. In order to simulate the real conditions in pipelines, impurities such as H20, CO, S02, N02 and 02 were added to the C02 stream before compression. Exposure experiments were carried out with Steel specimens placed in the autoclaves. Carbon Steel L360NB, pure iron X20Cr13, X46Cr13, X2CrMnNiN22-5-2 and alloy 31 have been exposed to circulating (flow rate 4 L/min) supercritical impure C02 for one week at 60 °C and 10 MPa Surface analysis and weight loss experiments in order to determine the corrosion products and the corrosion rates showed that the impurities cause corrosion problems. Slight general corrosion by L360NB and soft iron was observed. The initiation of pitting corrosion was observed at the surfaces of the materials X20Cr13, X46Cr13, X2CrMnNiN22-5-2. No visible signs of corrosion have been observed on alloy 31.
Within the project COORAL (German acronym for 'CO2 purity for capture and storage') first studies on piping steels exposed to CO2 and artificial brine with high chloride concentration have been carried out. Corrosion behavior of martensitic Cr13 steel (1.4034) was investigated in a corrosive environment (artificial saline brine, T = 60 °C, CO2-flow rate 3 – 5 L/h, atmospheric pressure, exposure times from 1 h up to 14 days) using electrochemical and metallographic techniques. Different corrosion kinetics were observed as a function of exposure times and chloride concentration in the artificial brine. In CO2-saturated brine pitting corrosion was observed at free corrosion potential, whereas in the brine without addition of NaCl a stable passive layer built up. Predictions about corrosion mechanism are made and verified by means of surface analytical techniques.
Within the last years the use of feasible alternative energy sources has risen and is going to replace fossil resources more and more. Nevertheless, service conditions in solar facilities are due to the chemical composition of heat transmission media and temperatures, in many cases, extreme in terms of corrosion. Since the construction of power plants shall be economical with maximum life service, materials selection based on preliminary material qualification is essential to guarantee a secure and reliable operation of those facilities.
The materials selection depends on the operation temperature of a power plant on the chemical composition of the transmission fluid used. In high corrosive environments Ni-based alloys are often used as an all-round solution for the construction of corrosion resistant parts, because of their good corrosion properties. However, there might be limits for their use regarding their corrosion behavior, with which this contribution deals.
By means of electrochemical measurements and exposure tests the suitability of two high alloyed materials X8NiCrSi38 18 and NiCr25FeAlYB in molten nitrate salt (60 % NaNO3/40 % KNO3) was characterized at 600 °C.
