高温高压环境下不同浓度KBr溶液对13Cr不锈钢的腐蚀行为影响

Influence of KBr concentration on corrosion behaviors of 13Cr stainless steels under high temperature and high pressure

  • 摘要: 油气工业中溴盐完井液的使用极易导致油套管腐蚀失效的发生, 尤其是局部腐蚀风险.针对这一问题, 采用高温高压腐蚀模拟试验、扫描电镜观察与分析、电化学测试等试验研究方法, 研究了高温高压环境下不同浓度溴盐溶液对普通13Cr和超级13Cr两种典型油套管材腐蚀行为的影响.结果表明: 从平均腐蚀速率来看, 两种13Cr管材在三种浓度溴盐溶液中均表现出较好的耐蚀性能, 属于轻度或中度腐蚀, 但从局部腐蚀速率来看, 两种材料均达到严重或极严重腐蚀; 随着溴盐浓度的提高, 普通13Cr的自腐蚀电位和点蚀电位均明显负移, 对应材料的平均腐蚀速率和局部腐蚀速率均明显上升, 而超级13Cr仅点蚀电位明显负移, 自腐蚀电位则相对稳定, 对应其平均腐蚀速率变化幅度较小, 局部腐蚀速率则明显上升, 这说明相比普通13Cr, 超级13Cr对溴盐溶液具有更强的整体耐受能力, 但局部腐蚀敏感性仍然较高; 激光共聚焦(LSCM)三维表征结果表明, 在高质量浓度溴盐溶液(1.40 g·cm-3)中, 不论是普通13Cr还是超级13Cr都有明显的点蚀倾向, 这主要与溶液中高浓度的侵蚀性阴离子Br-有关, 相比于普通13Cr, 超级13Cr的点蚀敏感性相对较低, 但其点蚀风险仍不可忽视.

     

    Abstract: Recently, the use of bromine completion fluids in the oil and gas industry has caused numerous severe corrosion problems of the oil well casing and tubing, particularly the localized corrosion failure. Bromine completion fluids, such as KBr solution, are highly corrosive to steels. Even if the stainless steel is subjected to a high concentration of bromate under high temperature and pressure, it can still experience severe corrosion failure risks. In this study, the influence of KBr concentrations on corrosion behaviors of plain and super 13Cr steels under high temperature and pressure was investigated by corrosion simulation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, and electrochemical measurements. The results show that both plain and super 13Cr steels exhibit good corrosion resistance in KBr solutions with various concentrations regarding average corrosion rate, which is either mild or moderate. However, the local corrosion rates of plain and super 13Cr steels are serious or extremely serious. With the increase of bromide concentration, the free corrosion and pitting potentials of plain 13Cr steel significantly decrease. Both the average and local corrosion rates increase significantly. For super 13Cr steel, the pitting potential decreases, whereas the free potential remains relatively stable. The average corrosion rate of super 13Cr steel shows a lower scope of change than the local corrosion rate, which increases significantly and indicates that super 13Cr steel is much more corrosion resistant than plain 13Cr steel, but its local corrosion sensitivity is still high. Laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) results show that both plain and super 13Cr steels exhibit serious pitting corrosion in a KBr solution with a concentration of 1.40 g·cm-3, and this is related to the aggressiveness of Br-. Compared with plain 13Cr steel, super 13Cr steel shows a lower pitting sensitivity; however, its pitting corrosion risk cannot be ignored.
