Maritime exposure poses particular challenges for corrosion
protection in plant construction. In addition to the right choice
of materials, special design features that can have an impact
on corrosion resistance must also be taken into account to
ensure long-lasting corrosion protection. In practice, structural
crevice arrangements are unavoidable, and therefore the
crevice corrosion resistances of stainless steels are of
particular importance. These and other influences are being
investigated in this joint project.
Since 2016 ISO Technical Committee (TC) 265 is working on standardization the whole CCS-process chain. Around 30 countries are working together to provide international guidelines. As ISO 27913 was the first standard finished within these activities it is already in the stage of first revision.
The objective of ISO 27913 is “to provide specific requirements and recommendations on certain aspects of safe and reliable design, construction and operation of pipelines intended for the large-scale transportation of CO2 that are not already covered in existing pipeline standards such as ISO 13623, ASME B31.8, EN 1594, AS 2885 or other standards. Existing pipeline standards cover many of the issues related to the design and construction of CO2 pipelines; however, there are some CO2 specific issues that are not adequately covered in these standards. The purpose of this document is to cover these issues consistently. Hence, this document is not a standalone standard, but is written to be a supplement to other existing pipeline standards for natural gas or liquids for both onshore and offshore pipelines.”
This contribution shall provide information on the content, the current stage of the revision process, encourage to contribute to this standard and make listeners aware to consider the influence of ISO standard on documents currently in draft.
To combat climate change the share of renewable energy production must increase drastically. Offshore energy production – offshore wind and power-to-X – are crucial to achieving climate targets. However, the impact of these offshore constructions – wind turbines and production platforms – on the marine environment remains unclear in many aspects. Potential sources of chemical emissions are corrosion protection systems, remobilization of contaminants from old sediments during construction, the brine of desalination plants and increased shipping for maintenance and transportation. In order to minimize the environmental impact of renewable energies, close monitoring is essential. The goal of this project is the development of a monitoring concept for an offshore power-to-X production platform.
Hydrogen-induced stress corrosion cracking (HSCC) is well known, and highly sensitive pre-stressing steels are normally not available on the market. But in the case of existing structures, it could be necessary to ensure their safety through special kinds of investigations. Those kinds of investigations are often not applicable in a non-destructive way.
Therefore, a once in a lifetime project was initiated.
In the course of the deconstruction of the "Bridge of the 20th anniversary of the GDR" at the Altstädter Bahnhof in Brandenburg a. d. Havel, new information on the initiation of hydrogen-induced stress cracks could obtained. The initial observation to do several investigations at this bridge are several meters long longitudinal cracks in the concrete web of the box girder above and below the tension duct. The BAM was commissioned by the Brandenburg State Road Administration to participate in a corresponding joint project which is financed by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. The added value of the new information gained in this project goes beyond the specific structure. It describes unexpected new damage patterns that can be transferred to other structures with concentrated tendons (tendon block method and Baur-Leonhardt method) and were previously unknown in this form. These should be made known to other developers to enable them to initiate any necessary actions.
One of the major results is, the wire breaks observed at this bridge can be attributed to cracking as a result of HSCC and subsequent crack growth until breakage, due to cyclic loading from traffic and alternating restraint stresses. The probable trigger here was crevice corrosion processes at the contact points of the wires to the spacer plates in superposition with high tensile stresses due to prestressing after or with in grouting the duct. Tension wire breaks, which may have occurred before grouting and during prestressing, were not detected. The unfavorable gap situation at the spacer plates occurs over the entire cross-section of the prestressing channel and can thus affect each individual prestressing wire. Losses in the load-bearing capacity of the prestressed concrete structure can then be the result. A disadvantage of the prestressing block method in this respect is that a large number of individual wires can be affected at the same time (theoretically all wires), which can reduce the prestressing effect of the concentrated tendon accordingly. With the usual use of only one tendon per web, the possibility of load transfer to other tendons is thus not given (lack of redundancy).
In the maritime context of offshore operation, corrosion, in combination with the materials used, poses a particular challenge to ensure safe operation over long indefinite periods and to minimise susceptibility to failure. Until today, only a few corrosion protection systems have proven themselves for the interaction of efficiency, installation, and maintenance in the offshore sector. In addition, available corrosion test methods sometimes have major deficits about conclusions of the durability. Therefore, there is more research and development needed.
The flagship project H2Mare of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research aims to enable the production of green hydrogen and PtX products at high seas. Research is being driven forward by the partners in four individual projects, where BAM is involved in two.
In PtX-Wind, major kinds of corrosion attacks at offshore constructions are characterized and investigated, and suitable corrosion protection measures determined. In TransferWind, attention focusses on transferring scientific results into standardization.
This poster at the H2Mare Conference 2023 presents an overview of the investigation methods and contribution of the department “Corrosion and Corrosion Protection”.
Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the major reasons in questioning the sturdiness of building structures. The application of cathodic protection techniques plays a big role in controlling the corrosion process to ensure a longer service life of building structures. This systematic study compares the efficiency and durability of various discrete galvanic zinc anode systems available in the current market using different criteria for measuring efficiencies such as potential measurements, electrolyte resistance measurements and several polarization methods to determine the polarizability of the anodes. Results to validate the performance of long-time exposure of discrete zinc anodes in the concrete medium are already shown in 2021. Now the results of analyzing the phase boundary between mortar and anodes by using 3D computer tomography are shown, as also the field application at large-scale specimens where the potential distribution and the current were investigated.
Due to the high corrosivity that are present in road tunnel structures, cleaning and maintenance work on stainless steel components in the tunnels is carried out at regular intervals in the tunnels, which means that parts of the lanes or the whole tunnel have to be temporarily closed. To reduce these traffic disruptions and maintenance costs, it is important to reduce the work that is needed for cleaning and maintenance of stainless steel components in road tunnels. One possibility is the identification and utilization of better suited alternatives to the commonly used austenitic stainless steels AISI 316L and AISI 316Ti. Thus, a field exposure study was carried out in different road tunnels throughout Germany to qualify different duplex and lean duplex stainless steels for tunnel constructions.
The proposed scientific poster gives an overview of results after the first three years of exposure in three different road tunnels. Samples of different stainless steels were placed in different areas of the tunnel – at lane height and at the ceiling. Some samples were exposed under sheltered conditions. Pit depths were evaluated on the free surface and in crevice areas after each year of exposure. The investigations show that duplex stainless steels have a comparable or even better corrosion resistance than austenitic steels in tunnel atmospheres
In the late 1980s, a new type of corrosion appeared in drinking water installations where galvanized steel pipes failed forming a deep groove with no corrosion at the other surfaces. The reason was discussed quite fiercely between failure analysts and material suppliers. In the end the discussion lead to the solution: inductive welded pipes of a certain sulphur content were prone to selective corrosion. The history of the arguments is discussed using old communications between Wilhelm Schwenk and Wolfgang Stichel, who later published the results in a paper unfortunately only I german.
Thus the knowledge got lost and new cases based on the same material problems are observed in application of so-called C-Steel piping systems. Failure cases are shown.
