Abstract The structure and mechanical properties of CO2 corrosion scale formed on X65 pipeline steel in simulated CO2 corrosion environment in oil field under various flow rates were investigated. XRD and EDS analysis indicate that at static condition, the composition of the scale is (Fe,Ca,Mg)CO3, while the scale changes to (Fe,Ca)CO3 at dynamic conditions. The increment in flow rate increased the thickness of the scale remarkably, but had little influence on the hardness and Young's modulus of the scale. The fracture toughness of the scale exhibited the lowest value at the flow rate of 0.5 m/s, whereas the adhesion strength increased with increasing the flow rate.
