Corrosion Behavior of Carbon Steel X36 in Solutions of Soils Collected from Different Areas Linked to the Main Pipe Network of a Water Distribution System in Jeddah City

Abstract

The corrosion behavior of carbon steel X36 (CSX36) in solutions of soils collected from different areas linked to the main pipe network of a water distribution system in Jeddah City (Obhour Al Shamaliyah, Ob-Sh; Al Shateie, Sh; Al Safa, Sf; Al Samer, Sa; and Al Jameaah, Ja) at an ambient temperature (23 ± 1 °C) was studied. The corrosion behavior was monitored using various techniques, such as weight loss and electrochemical (open circuit potential [OCP]; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; and potentiodynamic polarization) measurements. Visual and microscopic examinations of the surface morphology of the studied metals were evaluated and discussed. The corrosion rates in all the studied soil solutions decreased with an increase in the immersion period over 80 weeks. The corrosivity of the studied soils based on weight loss measurements followed the order Sh > Ja > Ob-Sh > Sa > Sf. The value of the OCP gradually shifted to more negative values, indicating a higher tendency to corrode. For the soil solutions studied, the Ecorr shifted to more negative values, indicating that the corrosion process was under cathodic control. The values of icorr and 1/Rp tended to increase as the soil resistivity decreased. Moreover, there was good consistency between the corrosivity order of the studied soil solution obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and PDP measurements in the following order: Ob-Sh > Sh > Ja > Sa > Sf. A comprehensive assessment of the soil corrosivity based on various soil variables revealed that soil solutions of Ob-Sh and Sh are extremely corrosive, while the rest of the soil solutions are noncorrosive.

Fabrication of Protective Organic Layer Using Schiff-Base Metal Complex Responsible for Excellent Corrosion Performance: Experimental and Theoretical Perspectives

“…Both inhibited and uninhibited solutions exhibit negative activation entropy (Δ S *), and it may be inferred that disorder is diminished when the reactant changes into the activated complex at the upper energy barrier (i.e., the transition-state complex). As a result, association rather than dissociation is more suggestive of the active complex …”

Corrosion of API 5L X60 Pipeline Steel in Soil and Surface Defects Detection by Ultrasonic Analysis

“…Many studies have been developed in recent years [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] with the aim of finding adequate anti-corrosion protection solutions in order to limit or remove them. Chemical composition is key to understanding how a soil can influence corrosion.…”

Comparative Studies on the Anti‐Corrosive Action of Waterproofing Agent and Plant Extract to Steel Rebar

“…[ 4 ] The most critical causes of the alkalinity loss in the concrete infrastructure are atmospheric CO 2 , chloride, sulfate, SO 2 , which shift the pH of the porous concrete pore solution to a less alkaline (i.e., below 10 pH) level across the steel‐concrete interface, [ 5,6 ] making concrete structures vulnerable to corrosion. [ 7,8 ] The deterioration of concrete infrastructure is particularly dependent on the penetration level of water, [ 9 ] diffusion of atmospheric chloride, [ 10 ] and other gases through the pores and capillary networks, [ 11 ] which is affected by the pore size of the RfC infrastructures.
