The
passivity of 13Cr stainless steel in 1% NaCl solution under
dynamic supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) conditions
without or with different partial pressures of O2 was studied
by electrochemical measurements and surface characterization. Electrochemical
measurements indicate that both the fluid flow and an increase in
CO2 pressure lead to a decrease in the stability of the
passive film. Introduction of 0.1 MPa O2 into the dynamic
SC-CO2 system facilitates the formation of a stable and
integrated passive film, which enhances the corrosion resistance of
13Cr stainless steel. However, the addition of 1 MPa O2 reduces the stability of the passive film and results in the formation
of a passive film with high donor density, which decreases the corrosion
resistance of 13Cr stainless steel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
