13Cr

 

3.2 CO2 Corrosion Resistance

(1) High Cr steels such as 13Cr stainless steels are resistant to CO2 corrosion and have been widely, and successfully used in wells containing CO2 and CL-.
(2)

Effect of Cr content and temperature on CO2 corrosion are shown in Fig. 13CR & 13CRI critical temperature is 150°C ; For 13 CRM & 13CRS is 175°C. Duplex stainless steels (22Cr, 25Cr) have excellent corrosion resistance up to a temperature of 250°C.
