Abstract:
The System #2 flow loop used in this study is a 4-inch-diameter, high-temperature, high-pressure system. In situ corrosion and electrochemical measurements were performed using a homemade flat corrosion specimen and a three-electrode probe. The experiment results show that temperature has an accelerated influence on the corrosion of antibacterial alloy steel. With the increase of temperature and the presence of O2 in the environment, a loose and porous corrosion product film was formed on the surface of the resistant steel, which made it easier for the corrosion medium to enter the corrosion product film from the pore, thus accelerating the corrosion.
