Abstract

The sulfide stress corrosion (SSC) behaviors of the high strength low alloy steel at the different temperatures were investigated by the microstructural observation and electrochemical noise (EN) analysis. With the corrosion temperature increasing from 20 to 40 °C, SSC ruptured time is prolonged. The increase in corrosion temperature results in the decrease of the saturation solubility of H2S in the solution and thus increases pH value of solution. The increase in corrosion temperature decreases the size of the holes and cracks in the corrosion product film on the surface of the sample, which is due to the formation of the dense FeS corrosion product film. The current kurtosis results indicate that the time for the first occurrence of crack initiation is postponed by the increase in the corrosion temperature. The standard deviation of current noise signals, current kurtosis, power spectral density and energy distribution plot results shows a great consistency, which suggests that EN analysis method can reflect SSC behaviors in real time.
