P92 is one of the important steels for super heater tubes used in combustion plants. However, in fossil fuel fired environments the formation of oxides and sulfides are challenging the material. To understand early corrosion mechanisms, which are important for process prediction, high temperature in-situ ageing experiments of Fe-Cr-Mn alloys in SO2 and SO2+H2O atmosphere were performed, applying energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) analysis.
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of iron is usually attributed to sulfate-reducing microorganisms, either chemically (formation of hydrogen sulfide) or electrically (direct electron uptake). Methanogenetic Archaea are also known to be involved in iron corrosion, forming a multi-species biofilm on corroding metallic structures. However, mechanistic details and kinetics of the overall process in methanogen-induced MIC are poorly understood.
Electrochemical study of polyaniline/silicon dioxide containing coatings in geothermal solution
(2018)
Polyaniline/Silicon Dioxide containing coatings were electrochemically investigated in a saline geothermal solution.
With the increase of exposure time, impedance values of coated specimens decreased at low frequency, which could be caused by the decrease of pore resistance due to electrolyte or water uptake.
Coating system needs further optimization work.
Ferritic-martensitic high temperature alloys are widely used as boiler tube and heat exchanger materials in combustion based power plants. All technologies have in common that the applied materials are exposed to different temperatures, process pressures and reactive atmospheres which lead to a change of the material properties and a further degradation of the material.
To date corrosion analytics mainly proceeds via the use of various microscopic techniques and the analysis of the corrosion products after the reaction is completed. Comprehensive efforts have been made to study high temperature corrosion by the use of environmental SEM’s or in-situ TEM technologies. The here presented work will show a different approach to study high temperature gas corrosion in a multiple gas atmosphere by energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD). For this technique high energetic white X-ray radiation (10-100 keV) was used as radiation source instead of conventional monochromatic radiation. It enables us to study crystallization procedures on short and medium time scales (1 min < t < 24 h) and the collection of Bragg-Signals of the phases of interest as a function of process time. Their occurrence can directly be correlated with thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. A special designed corrosion reactor was used to combine high temperature gas corrosion experiments with the collection of diffraction patter. The crystallization and reaction paths for oxide and sulfide formation was followed in-situ on Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-Mn model alloys in a hot SO2 containing (T=650 °C) atmosphere.
The copper alloyed stainless steel 1.4542 (X5CrNiCuNb16-4) is used in different areas due to its good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Strength and corrosion resistance can be adjusted by the heat treatment, which is of importance for the application of this alloy. The mechanical properties (strength and hardness) are attributed to the dispersive precipitation of the copper rich ε–Phase. The additional precipitation of chromi-um carbides can reduce the corrosion resistance. Different ageing states were produced to investigate the precipitation behaviour with various methods. Furthermore, the influence of cold-rolling on the precipitation behaviour was studied in comparison to a solution annealed state without deformation. The microstructure was studied by SEM and the variations of hardness and magnetic proportion were characterised. The electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (EPR) was used to determine the corrosion resistance and detect chromium depletion in all heat-treated states. The results show that a work hard-ening accelerates the precipitation rate, while ageing at 600 °C reduces the corrosion resistance due to chromium depletion.
Multielectrodes are arrays of single electrodes arranged in a particular geometry. In our work, all the single electrodes are identical stainless steel X5CrNi18-10 (1.4301) wire electrodes. Using a multielectrode analyser all single electrodes are connected via zero resistance ammeters, simulating a galvanically coupled single electrode surface. The advantage of the multielectrode analyser (MMA) is that the currents flowing between single electrodes can be measured. Thus, real-time maps can be generated indicating where anodic and cathodic areas lie on the surface of the multielectrode and how they behave.
The combination of the multielectrode analyser with the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) enables the identification of corrosion sites and the detailed electrochemical analysis.
Geothermal brine is considered to be an aggressive environment as it contains various dissolved salts. Even though carbon steel is commonly used as a construction material due to its machinability and economical reason, it is susceptible to uniform and localized corrosion in a high temperature and high pressure system. Therefore, a coating system is introduced to protect the carbon steel against corrosion in such environment.
-It is necessary to find the optimum composition of SiO2 addition in the organic coatings to enhance the material performance, i.e. coatings adhesion, thickness optimization, thermal resistance.
Current project aims at the addition of Polyaniline (PANi) as the active agent to improve the corrosion resistance of materials against a high saline medium at elevated temperatures.
Methanogenic Archaea
(2017)
Different environmental samples reveal that methanogenic Archaea are part of a multi-species biofilm on corroding metallic structures. Studies on microbial influenced corrosion (MIC) focus mainly on sulphate reducing Bacteria (SRB), leading to the assumption that they are exclusively responsible for metal corrosion. In fact, methanogenic Archaea are known to be involved in metal corrosion as well (e.g. Methanococcus maripaludis DSM 2067). In some cases SRB and methanogenic Archaea have comparable high corrosion rates. However, the underlying mechanisms causing corrosion are still unknown.
The goal of this study is to develop suitable methods for analyzing two environmental isolates (M. maripaludis DSM 2067, M. maripaludis KA1) and two human-related isolates (Methanobrevibacter oralis and Methanobrevibacter smithii) for their ability to deteriorate/transform metals, which are relevant for technical and clinical applications. Moreover, the studies will provide essential information on the interaction mechanisms of human-related Archaea, which are frequently found in peri-implantitis, with dental material such as implants, crowns and bridges leading to their degradation and transformation.
