Abstract

The resistance of carbon steel, E-Brite 26-1, Type 316L stainless steel, Haynes Alloy 20 Mod, Carpenter Alloy 20 Cb-3, Inconel Alloy 625, Hastelloy Alloy G, Hastelloy Alloy C-276, Titanium 50A, and TiCode 12 to pitting in a low salinity geothermal brine (Nowlin No. 1) was determined. The behavior of coupons exposed to the ″fresh″ , unflashed wellhead brine was compared with the behavior of coupons exposed to unflashed brine collected at the wellhead and transported to the laboratory. Pitting potentials were also determined in laboratory tests.
