The corrosion behaviour of N80, 3Cr, and 5Cr steels were investigated under wet fire drive conditions using a high-temperature and high-pressure autoclave, weight-loss method, and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The findings indicated that elevated air pressure (4–6 MPa) and flow rates (0.5–1.5 m/s) significantly exacerbated corrosion, leading to both localised pitting and general corrosion on the steel samples. Predominant components of the corrosion product scales were identified as FeCO3 and Cr2O3. Notably, N80 steel exhibited higher pitting sensitivity compared to 3Cr and 5Cr steel, whereas 5Cr steel demonstrated superior corrosion resistance under the experimental conditions. Consequently, it is recommended to use cost-effective pipes with adequate corrosion resistance, such as various low-alloy pipes with differing chromium (Cr) contents, in oilfield applications. This study underscores the importance of selecting corrosion-resistant pipes as a primary means of corrosion prevention in oil and gas operations. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights into the corrosion performance of diverse steel materials in wet fire drive environments, offering pertinent implications for corrosion mitigation strategies within the industry.
