Abstract

A study was carried out to experimentally investigate the susceptibility of two high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel grades (X52 and X60), both used in the construction of petroleum pipelines, to erosion-corrosion attack in CO₂ containing saltwater at pH 4.4 and 50°C. The experimental apparatus was a circulating flow loop system inside an autoclave. The speed of the rotating impeller was 2000 rpm. In situ electrochemical methods were used to monitor the corrosion rate by the potentiodynamic sweep and the linear polarization resistance methods. The experimental results indicate that the corrosion rate of X60 steel was higher than that of X52 steel.
