Abstract
The effect of cooling rate-induced microstructural changes on corrosion resistance in a CO2-saturated
3.5 wt% NaCl solution have been explored for the API L80–1Cr steel. The
corroded layer majorly contains siderite, akagenite, and undissolved
cementite. The amount of FeCO3 in this layer is larger for
the water-cooled sample with a martensitic structure, whereas the
furnace-cooled sample with a ferritic-pearlitic structure contains a
larger amount of akagenite. The retained cementite and the microrough
surface of the furnace-cooled sample provide greater anchoring to the
scale. Comparing samples cooled at different rates, the furnace-cooled
condition appears to provide better CO2 corrosion resistance.
