Abstract
The corrosion behavior of high-strength and toughness 15 Cr stainless steel under H2S and CO2 production conditions was studied by sulfide stress cracking(SSC), stress corrosion cracking(SCC) tests, high temperature and high pressure corrosion simulation tests and in-situ electrochemical tests. The results show that under NACE TM0177 standard conditions(B solution) and simulated working conditions(90 ℃, 3 MPa CO2, 2 kPa H2S), the SSC and SCC sensitivity of high-strength and toughness 15 Cr stainless steel are low, showing excellent resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion cracking. Under the conditions of ultra-high temperature, ultra-high CO2 and low H2S partial pressure, the high strength and toughness 15 Cr exhibits good resistance to uniform corrosion and local corrosion. Compared with the partial pressure of CO2 and H2S, the influence of temperature on the corrosion rate is more significant, and its applicable temperature can reach 220 ℃(with a uniform corrosion rate of 0.09 mm/a and no obvious pitting corrosion). Under simulated conditions, p-n bipolar passivation film is formed on the surface of high-strength and toughness 15 Cr. Compared with Super 13 Cr, it has lower doping concentration(NA=7.95×1022cm-3, ND=1.87×1022cm-3), higher pitting protection potential(Ep=-148 mV), and polarization resistance(Rp=6048.69 Ω ·cm2), and higher corrosion resistance. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the use of high strength and toughness 15Cr stainless steel in H2S and CO2 environment.
