Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The corrosion resistance of materials is an extremely important performance parameters when applied in the harsh service environment, especially in coastal environments. Metal materials are prone to losing electrons due to their high activity, leading to corrosion. In order to prevent metal corrosion, some necessary key protective measures need to be taken. A rust inhibitor is usually added to achieve the purpose of corrosion prevention in metal composite materials. Moreover, electroplating and cathodic protection are also applied for corrosion prevention of metals. Additionally, some evaluation methods of corrosion degree are also commonly used. Evaluation methods, such as electrical parameter method, mass loss method, and microscopic analysis method, are effective to quantitatively analyze the corrosion degree.

In the present paper, the effect of the evolution of primary water chemistry during power operation on the corrosion rate and conduction mechanism of oxide films on stainless steel is studied by in situ impedance spectroscopy at 300 °C/9 MPa during 1-week exposure periods in an autoclave connected to a recirculation loop. At the end of the exposure period, the samples were anodically polarized in a wide range of potentials to evaluate the stability of the passive oxide. Separate samples of the same steel were simultaneously exposed to the coolant and subsequently analyzed by glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) in order to estimate the thickness and the in-depth composition of the formed oxides. Impedance data were quantitatively interpreted using the mixed-conduction model for oxide films (MCM) to estimate the rates of metal oxidation at the alloy/oxide interface, oxide dissolution and restructuring at the film/coolant interface, and ion transport in the protective corrosion layer.

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is commonly used for joining pipelines; however, it often leads to discoloration in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). In this study, 316L pipes were welded with different concentrations of oxygen present in the argon purge gas during welding. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of oxygen concentration in the protective gas on the pitting corrosion resistance of welded pipes. The experimental results showed that the thickness of the oxide layer formed in the HAZ depends on the concentration of oxygen in the protective gas. Increasing the oxygen concentration in the protective gas resulted in an increase in pitting corrosion resistance until a critical value, beyond which the resistance decreased. The results showed that the thickness of the oxide layer formed in the HAZ depends on the concentration of oxygen in the protective gas. Increasing the oxygen concentration in the protective gas increased the pitting corrosion resistance until a critical value, beyond which the resistance decreased due to the formation of iron oxide. This study provides valuable insights for improving the corrosion resistance of welded pipes in the oil and gas industry. Full article

Secondary aluminum ash (SAA) is a type of common solid waste which leads to pollution without treatment. Due to its chemical reactivity, the application of SAA to reactive powder concrete (RPC) may help solidify this solid waste while increasing its performance. However, RPC is usually in active service when used with steel bars. NaCl can corrode the steel bars when reinforced RPC is used in a coastal environment. In this study, the corrosion resistance of reinforced RPC was investigated. The specimens were exposed to an environment of NaCl with freeze–thaw cycles (F-Cs) and dry–wet alternations (D-As). The corresponding mass loss rates (MRs), the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) curves and the dynamic modulus of elasticity (DME) were measured. The results show that the MR and the DME of reinforced RPC decrease with increasing values of F-C and D-A. F-C and D-A increases lead to increased electrical resistance (R). The real part value corresponding to the extreme point of the EIS curve is increased by 0~213.7% when the SAA is added. The relationship between the imaginary part and the real part of the EIS fits the quadratic function. The equivalent circuit of the reinforced RPC is obtained from the EIS curves. The R of the rust is calculated by using the equivalent circuit. The rust’s R decreases in the quadratic function with the mass ratio of the SAA. After 200 NaCl F-Cs, the MR, the DME and the R vary within the ranges of 23.4~113.6%, −2.93~−4.76% and 4.92~13.55%. When 20 NaCl D-As are finished, the MR, the DME and the R vary within the ranges of 34.7~202.8%, −13.21~−14.93% and 120.48~486.39%. The corrosion area rates are 2.3~68.7% and 28.7~125.6% higher after exposure to 200 NaCl F-Cs and 20 NaCl D-As. When the SAA is mixed, the MR is decreased by 0~13.12%, the DME increases by 0~3.11%, the R of the reinforced RPC increases by 26.01~152.43% and the corrosion area rates are decreased by 21.39~58.62%. This study will provide a novel method for solidifying SAA while improving the chlorine salt resistance of RPC. Full article
