Influence of Load Type on the Passivation and Failure of AISI 2205 under Geothermal Corrosion Fatigue Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

In corrosive geothermal environment corrosion fatigue lowers the lifetime expectancy of high alloyed steels. The load type is directly affecting corrosive and mechanical failure mechanism. Therefore, main objective is to gain general understanding upon the formation of the passivation layer and corrosion fatigue failure of duplex stainless steel AISI 2205 specimen tested under pure axial push/pull load and rotation bending load in a specifically designed corrosion chamber surrounded by the Northern German Basin electrolyte at 369 K. The thickness of the passive layer directly depends on flow direction and velocity of the corrosive media and under rotation bending additionally of the rotation speed of the specimen. Crack initiation and failure are associated with corrosive degradation of the passive layer and pit formation while mechanical degradation is secondary.
