“…The corrosion scale acted as a diffusion barrier for the species involved in the corrosion process can slow down the corrosion process and prevent the underlying steel from further dissolution [5]. Sosa [6], Cabrera-Sierra [7], Kittel [8], Hernández-Espejel [9] and Zhou [10] reported that the protective property of the sulphide film depended on the factors such as the H 2 S partial pressure (PH 2 S), temperature and pH. The sulphide layer performed better protective property in the acid solution than that in the neutral solution under 1 bar H 2 S at ambient temperature [8,11].…”
