Abstract

A FeCO₃ film and FeS film were prepared on carbon steel L360 by anodic electrolyzing the steel in NaHCO₃ solution and immersing the steel in Na₂S solution respectively in air at 80 ℃. Then, the corrosion performance of the steel covered with the two films beneath sulfur-deposition in an artificial formation water was studied by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization and environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The results indicated that for the case without S deposits, the two films showed good protectiveness in the artificial solutions with pH 7 and 3 respectively, and the FeCO₃ film was better than the FeS film. The two films were better in the neutral solution than in acidic solution. However, for the case with S deposits, the two films loosed their protectiveness in the two solutions. Moreover, in the solution with pH 7, the steel beneath FeCO₃ film suffered from local corrosion seriously, while the steel beneath FeS film suffered from uniform corrosion. Besides, in the solution with pH 3, the steels with or without films all suffered from uniform corrosion.

Key words: FeCO3 film FeS film corrosion resistance sulfur deposition
