The high-temperature mechanical properties of HS110S steel and its corrosion behaviors in harsh downhole environment

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the high-temperature mechanical properties of HS110S steel and its corrosion behaviors in harsh downhole environment. Design/methodology/approach In this work, mechanical property measurements were carried out from 25°C to 350°C and the scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the fracture morphology. The weight-loss measurements and surface characterization were used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of HS110S steel in harsh downhole environment. Findings Results show that the yield strength and tensile strength of HS110S steel at 350 °C are 779 and 861 MPa, respectively. Compared with room temperature, the reduction rate values are both less than 20%. At the high-temperature corrosion environment (350 °C), the static and dynamic corrosion rates are 0.9668 and 1.9236 mm/a, respectively. The generated corrosion products are mainly composed of FeSx, FeCO3 and Fe3O4. Therefore, the HS110S steel applied under such conditions needs to take suitable protective measures. Originality/value In general, the HS110 steel has widely used in conventional development conditions (e.g. low H2S or high CO2 environments). However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no studies have reported on its application at more than 250°C. Therefore, this work can be a reference to the application of HS110S steel in high-temperature corrosion conditions.

A high-resolution characterization of surface film formed on alloys 800 and 690 exposed to chloride and thiosulfate-containing solution at 300°C

“…To investigate the corrosion degradation induced by sulfur, scholars from both domestic and international arenas have conducted in-depth analyses using methods such as thermodynamic calculations, electrochemical experiments and surface analysis techniques (Liu et al, 2022;Yin et al, 2024). Marcus and Protopopoff (Marcus and Protopopoff, 1990;Protopopoff and Marcus, 2018) systematically computed E-pH diagrams of Fe, Cr, Ni and other elements in the 800 alloy under conditions of 25°C and 300°C, providing a comprehensive summary of sulfur-metal interactions and possible forms of existence.…”
