Abstract
The corrosion product layer formed on the inner wall of hydrogen-blended natural gas pipelines significantly affects the interaction between hydrogen and pipeline steel, thereby influencing the hydrogen diffusion characteristics and hydrogen compatibility of the pipeline steel. By combining in-situ gaseous hydrogen permeation tests, SSRT tests, SEM morphological analysis, and XRD testing, this study investigates the microscopic morphology, composition, and structural characteristics of the CO2 corrosion products formed on X52 pipeline steel under different conditions. It quantifies the impact of the CO2 corrosion product layer on the hydrogen permeation kinetics of X52 steel and elucidates the mechanism of mechanical property degradation of X52 steel in a gaseous hydrogen environment with a CO2 corrosion product layer, revealing the essential role of the corrosion product layer in affecting material hydrogen compatibility. The results show that compared with uncorroded samples, the steady-state current density of X52 steel samples under different corrosion conditions is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the hydrogen embrittlement index calculated from the SSRT tests and the fracture morphology indicate that while corrosion exacerbates the loss of material ductility, it also hinders hydrogen permeation.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
