H2S+CO2+CI - CORROSION (NI BASE ALLOYS)

High Alloy Materials become necessary where severe well conditions with high concentrations of H2S, CO2 and CI- brines are encountered.
(1)
High Ni corrosion resistant alloys for OCTG feature a single austenitic phase. Strength is developed through cold working.
Addition of essential alloying elements such as Cr, Ni, Mo determines the corrosion resistance properties.
(3)
The effect of fundamental elements on corrosion behaviors are shown in the following Figures.
These can be recapped as follows.
• Application limit temperature is strongly depending on Mo content in the Ni Base Alloys.
• In combined H2S, CO2, Cl- media, the basic minimal chemistry of Cr 18%, Ni 28%, Mo 3% is required.
• Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility increases with material chemistries exceeding 60% Ni.
(2)
Resistance to general (weight loss) corrosion and localized (pitting and crevice) corrosion is achieved by the formation of a stable passivation film on the material surface.
(4)
Elemental S is very aggressive to SSC. SM-2050 and SM-C276 is applicable depending on environmental temperature.
