Scaling characteristics and growth of corrosion product films in turbulent flow solution containing saturated CO2

In the present study, the surface and cross‐section microstructures of the corrosion films were investigated by SEM and the corrosion rate was measured by mass loss at the various conditions associated with the main influencing factors such as temperature, CO2 partial pressure, and flow velocity.

Description
Summary:In the present study, the surface and cross‐section microstructures of the corrosion films were investigated by SEM and the corrosion rate was measured by mass loss at the various conditions associated with the main influencing factors such as temperature, CO2 partial pressure, and flow velocity. The results indicated that the three factors have obvious characteristics and the enhanced interactions among the main influencing factors intensively influence the formation and growth of corrosion film. In addition, there were two corrosion mechanisms connected with the forming film and damaging film. A new lattice model was proposed to describe the general aspects concerning the formation of the corrosion film at the metal surface/solution interfaces.
