Electrochemical Investigation of the Corrosion Resistance of Metal for Oil and Gas Pipelines

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

The corrosion rate of Nb-microalloyed Cr–Mn steel in an environment with varying parameters such as temperature, pH, and dissolved carbon dioxide concentration was determined by gravimetric and electrochemical methods (the linear polarization resistance method and the Tafel extrapolation method). The degree of influence of each of these parameters was established. The convergence of the results obtained by electrochemical and gravimetric methods is demonstrated.
