Abstract
ABSTRACTInternal corrosion of wet gas pipelines usually occurs in thin layers of water condensate with dissolved gases such as CO2, where a bacterial community can grow to cause microbiological corrosion. In this work, surface films generated during corrosion of an X52 pipeline steel under a CO2-containing thin electrolyte layer (TEL) in the absence and presence of Desulfovibrio vulgaris bacteria were characterised by atomic force microscopy. The film generated in the Desulfovibrio vulgaris-containing TEL, i.e. a mixture of FeS, FeCO3 and biopolymers, as compared with the film generated in the sterile TEL (i.e. FeCO3-dominant corrosion products), is topographically less compact and softer, with a reduced elastic modulus. After 7 days of immersion, the elastic modulus of the surface films generated in the sterile and D. vulgaris-containing TELs are 11.81 and 6.79 GPa, respectively.KEYWORDS: Corrosion product filmstopographymechanical propertyatomic force microscopymicrobiological corrosionthin electrolyte layer AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by Excellence in Doctoral Student Studies Program of the University of Science and Technology of China, and the University of Calgary, Canada.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by University of Science and Technology of China.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology provides broad international coverage of research and practice in corrosion processes and corrosion control. Peer-reviewed contributions address all aspects of corrosion engineering and corrosion science; there is strong emphasis on effective design and materials selection to combat corrosion and the journal carries failure case studies to further knowledge in these areas.
