Summary: The pure corrosion, pure erosion, and erosion-corrosion behaviors of X65 carbon steel in corrosive fluid and slurry of different pH were investigated. The results showed that the corrosion pattern changed from general corrosion to pitting damage, possibly due to changes in the cathodic reaction. Sand impacts influenced the main cathodic reaction and led to the formation of pitting and small pits. An increase in solution pH resulted in more severe and scattered pitting damage.

Summary: This article reports on recent studies of erosion-corrosion of high manganese steel in slurry transport systems, comparing its performance to commonly used pipeline steels and other materials. The results show that the high strain-hardening capability of high manganese steel results in outstanding erosion resistance, making it more than twice as effective as ferritic steels. The study also compared the results to field trials conducted in an oil sands coarse tailings pipeline.

Summary: There is a growing interest in exploring the durability of structures made with environmentally friendly cements compared to traditional Portland cement. Research shows that the corrosion rate of steel embedded in AAM mortar is similar to conventional CEM IV mortars, with a less localized attack morphology.

Summary: This study investigates the bond properties between steel bars and concrete under the coupling of chloride ion erosion and repeated load. The results show that the bond strength decreases with an increase in the level of repeated load alone. Additionally, the bond strength under the coupling of repeated load and chloride ion erosion is lower than that under repeated load alone or chloride ion erosion alone. The bond strength gradually decreases when the corrosion ratio exceeds 1.5%. Moreover, the slip between steel bars and concrete decreases with an increase in the level of repeated load under the coupling of chloride ion erosion and repeated load when splitting failure occurs. Based on the test results, a bond strength-slip constitutive relationship is proposed.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Cr-optimization on the corrosion and erosion-corrosion behaviors of Hadfield steel with 1.1 wt% C-13 wt% Mn in a neutral aqueous environment. The results showed that adding Cr can enhance the corrosion and erosion-corrosion resistance, but only at the optimized Cr content of approximately 2 wt%. The newly designed Hadfield steel has favorable combination of long-term environmental stability in harsh corrosive and erosive environments, high-strength, hardness, ductility, and commercial availability, making it a promising alternative in various industrial applications.

Summary: Increasing NaCl concentration promotes corrosion of carbon steel and microbiologically influenced corrosion. However, a high concentration of chloride ions interferes with oxygen adsorption and cell attachment, leading to a reduced corrosion rate and inhibited MIC.

Summary: This study investigates the erosion-corrosion behavior of carbon steel under different abradant characteristics, showing that particle size and concentration have significant impacts on the erosion-corrosion rate. Experimental results under high flow rates and different jet angles indicate that the degradation rate of carbon steel increases with the increase of abradant concentration, but a decrease in rate is observed within a specific concentration range.

Summary: This study investigates the corrosion behavior of carbon steels in different cement pastes contaminated with seawater. The results indicate that the resistivity of the matrix affects the propagation of corrosion in carbon steel, and a high Cl-/OH- ratio induces corrosion. However, reduction of water content inhibits corrosion, and the phase conversion of corrosion products sustains the cathodic reaction.

Summary: This study investigated the passivation and corrosion of carbon steel exposed to a blended solution of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement. The carbon steel exhibited inferior passivity in the blended solution, but comparable corrosion resistance after chloride attack. Improved pitting corrosion resistance was observed in the steel immersed in the blended solution, attributed to the formation of an Al-rich layer and the reduced chloride concentration.

Summary: This paper analyzed the corrosion behavior and corrosion performance of ER8 wheel steel through a full immersion test. The research found that the corrosion rate increased with increasing immersion time and NaCl solution concentration. The coverage area of corrosion products increased gradually and became denser, and cracks and holes appeared on the surface of the rust layers, leading to pitting corrosion on the substrate.

Summary: The influence of tensile stress on the depassivation behaviour of carbon steel was studied. Electrochemical tests, XPS and SEM analyses were used to investigate the critical chloride threshold CCl,crit, chemical composition, surface morphology, thickness, and shedding rate of carbon steel passive films. The results showed that CCl,crit decreased gradually and the shedding rate of the passive film increased remarkably with the applied tensile stress. A correlation model between CCl,crit and the characteristic evolution of the passive film is proposed, and a method for determining the depassivation of carbon steel under stress based on electrochemical parameters is established.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of different alcohol content in ethanol-gasoline and butanol-gasoline blends on mild steel corrosion, finding that contamination increases the aggressiveness of the fuels against mild steel, particularly in butanol-gasoline blends. It was observed that in ethanol-gasoline blends with an ethanol content of 60% or higher, an initial quasi-passive state was present but not persistent. Pitting corrosion was observed in fuels with ethanol content of 100% and in blends containing 40% or more butanol.

Summary: Experiments exposing ground 304 stainless steel samples to sea salt particles at different relative humidity levels showed that corrosion behavior varied significantly depending on the relative humidity of exposure. The distribution of pit populations, pit shapes, and increase in corrosion damage were all different between 40% RH and 76% RH conditions. These findings suggest that the mechanisms determining long-term corrosion behavior are different for different levels of relative humidity exposure.

Summary: Tensile stress and erosion can independently promote general corrosion of pipeline steel. The combination of tensile stress and erosion can have a synergistic effect on general corrosion by reducing the compactness of corrosion products layer, accelerating the mass transfer process, and improving the reaction activity of the steel. Erosion suppresses localized corrosion, while tensile stress enhances it.

Summary: The synergistic effect of erosion and hydrogen on the passive film of 2205 duplex stainless steel was studied in a loop system coupled with a hydrogen-charging cell. It was found that the combination of erosion and hydrogen could dramatically change the passive film component, decrease the protective performance, and increase the susceptibility of pitting corrosion of 2205 stainless steel in Cl-containing environment.
