Abstract

The effects of CH₃COONa and CO₂ on the corrosion behavior of 13 mass% Cr martensitic stainless steel in simulated oil and gas environments were investigated with electrochemical and surface analysis techniques. The electrochemical results showed that a plateau region and sudden increase in the current density of the anodic polarization curves. The current density of the plateau region decreased with increasing CH₃COONa concentrations. The pitting corrosion potential shifted to the positive direction with increasing CH₃COONa concentrations, and shifted to a negative value by adding CO₂. From the surface analysis, a Cr enriched layer had formed on the sample surface after immersion tests, and the thickness of this layer became thinner with increasing CH₃COONa concentration. The surface analysis results after the immersion tests suggested the presence of CH₃COO⁻ or HCO₃⁻ on the surface.
