Internal corrosion in wet natural gas is a big challenge in the oil and gas industry due to corrosive constituents such as carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), other forms of sulfur, and water in the gas stream. To mitigate internal corrosion, zinc-based cold spray coatings were designed for use in natural gas pipelines to increase the lifespan of the pipeline network. However, one of the requirements in designing internal coatings is the resistance of the coatings to mechanical forces applied on the pipeline's internal wall during pigging operations. These forces are primarily compressive and shear/friction forces. This study examines material properties that must be considered when evaluating mechanical considerations.
