The Accelerated Corrosion of Elemental Sulfur for Carbon Steel in Wet H₂S Environment

Abstract:

The accelerated corrosion action of sulfur for carbon steel in wet H₂S environment was studied by simulating the actual serviced environment. The weight-loss method, SEM, EDS and X-ray diffraction techniques are used to analyze the corrosion rate, the structure and the composition of the corrosion production formed in the environments. The results show that sulfur aggravated the corrosion sharply in wet H₂S environment.
