The effect of SRB and applied potential on the stress corrosion sensitivity of X80 pipeline steel was analyzed in high-pH soil simulated solution under different conditions using a slow strain rate tensile test, electrochemical test, and electronic microanalysis. The experimental results showed that X80 pipeline steel has a certain degree of SCC sensitivity in high-pH simulated solution, and the crack growth mode was trans-granular stress corrosion cracking. In a sterile environment, the SCC mechanism of X80 steel was a mixture mechanism of anode dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement at -850 mV potential, while X80 steel had the lowest SCC sensitivity due to the weak effect of AD and HE; after Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) were inoculated, the SCC mechanism of X80 steel was an AD-membrane rupture mechanism at -850 mV potential. The synergistic effect of Cl and SRB formed an oxygen concentration cell and an acidification microenvironment in the pitting corrosion pit, and this promoted the formation of pitting corrosion which induced crack nucleation, thus significantly improving the SCC sensitivity of X80 steel. The strong cathodic polarization promoted the local corrosion caused by SRB metabolism in the presence of bacteria, whereby the SCC sensitivity in the presence of bacteria was higher than that in sterile conditions under strong cathodic potential.

A nondestructive evaluation of the hydrogen damage of materials in a hydrogen environment is important for monitoring the running conditions of various pieces of equipment. In this work, a new thermostatic electrolytic hydrogenation in situ ultrasonic test system (In Situ TEH-UT) was developed. The system operates by combining cross-correlation delay estimation and frequency domain amplitude estimation and hence improves measurement accuracy with respect to ultrasonic propagation time and amplitude, allowing in situ ultrasonic evaluation of the hydrogen-charging process in X80 pipeline steel.

Effect of Filler Wire Composition on Weld Metal Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in X80 Steel Laser Welds.

Materials (Basel)

October 2024

Centre for Advanced Materials Joining (CAMJ), Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, University of Waterloo, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada.

Laser welding was performed using different filler wires, ER70S steel, commercially pure iron, and pure nickel filler, in the context of welding X80 pipeline steel to assess the microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld metal. Introducing an ER70S wire promoted acicular ferrite formation in the fusion zone, compared to a bainitic microstructure in an autogenous laser weld. The use of pure iron wire was considered as a potential strategy for reducing hardenability, as it led to the dilution of alloying elements in the fusion zone, increasing ferrite content and reducing weld metal hardness to a level compliant with API pipeline standards.

Article Synopsis
  • Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) poses a significant risk in shale gas fields due to hydraulic fracturing fluids, which can foster problematic microbiomes.
  • In an experiment, modifications to biocide DBNPA using specific d-amino acids showed enhanced effectiveness in reducing corrosion on X80 carbon steel, achieving significant reductions in weight loss and corrosion current.
  • The results suggest that low doses of d-tyrosine can notably boost biocide performance, while insights into biofilm interactions indicate that extracellular electron transfer might be a key factor in the corrosion process.
