Abstract
Corrosion potentials and cyclic voltammograms are reported for AlSl 1010 carbon steel, E-Brite 26-1 stainless steel, AlSl 316L stainless steel, Haynes alloy 20 Mod, Carpenter 20 Cb-3, Inconel Alloy 625, Hastelloy Alloy G, Hastelloy Alloy C-276, Titanium 50A, and TiCode 12 in high salinity geothermal brine at 250 C. Potential-pH diagrams for the component metals (Fe, Ni, Cr, Ti) in the brine at 25 and 250 C are also derived, and are used to interpret the corrosion behavior and cyclic voltammetric responses of the alloys in the elevated temperature brine environment. A major factor in the economic exploitation of geothermal resources will be the cost-effective selection of materials that have sufficient resistance to corrosion to maintain component integrity.
