Abstract

Pipeline steel has been widely used in modern industry such as the transportation of natural gas and oil. However, its service life is mainly affected by the corrosion because of its hydrophilic and oleophilic properties. In this study, the surface of X80 pipeline steel was converted to be of super-hydrophobicity and oleophobicity by acid etching and fluoride modification. The steel was first etched by a mixed acid solution to roughen its surface, and then modified with a kind of low surface energy material, 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-Perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. The fluoride modification can reduce the surface energy, which is an essential step to prepare the amphiphobic surface. The influence of acid etching and modification on the morphology and the wetting behavior of the modified surface was characterized and the corrosion behavior of the amphiphobic surface was studied by potentiodynamic scanning. The result showed that the modified amphiphobic surface exhibits excellent both of hydrophobicity and oleophobicity, for substances such as water, glycerin and ethylene glycol, as well as hexadecane. After 4 h etching and fluoride modification, the contact angles of the modified steel with deionized water, glycerin, ethylene glycol and hexadecane were 161°, 156°, 151.5° and 146° respectively. The modified surface can enhance the corrosion resistance of the pipeline steel and such amphiphobic surface can be easily repaired.

Key words: X80 pipeline steel acid etching fluoroalkyl silane amphiphobicity anti-corrosion
