Abstract
The CO2 corrosion-induced scale developed in the surface
region of the low-grade carbon steel is thoroughly investigated to
understand the corrosion mechanisms involved during exposure to CO2-saturated
aqueous environments. In this work, in addition to the electron
microscopy and lab-source X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods, ex-situ
depth-resolved phase identification of the corrosion scales developed
on steel with different initial microstructures is performed using
synchrotron grazing incidence XRD at different incidence angles. The CO2
corrosion mechanism is discussed considering the observed distribution
of the corrosion products formed at a different depth relative to the
time of electrochemical exposure of the steels.
