Graphite Steel and Chromium-Nickel Steel Corrosion: Solution Flow Through Corrosion Experiments
- Sandia National Laboratories, Carlsbad, NM (United States)
The corrosion of steel, when exposed to various compositions of brines is a complex, heterogeneous process involving dissolution and precipitation of multiple solids. The rate at which elements will be released from the corrosion process under these conditions will depend, in part, on effects associated with secondary alteration phases (passivating film) that may potentially form under these conditions. Understanding these processes has required the development of sophisticated methods to sample and quantitatively characterize the composition of the steel as it corrodes and releases elements. The determination of the concentrations of both brine and steel corrosion components in solutions sampled from these tests is required to fully understand the process that may eventually lead to dissolution of corrosion products.
