Abstract

The flow-induced corrosion behaviour of welded low ally steel in 1 wt. % NaCl environment containing monoethylene glycol at 0°C and 25°C respectively, was investigated. A modified submerged impinging jet rig was adopted to simulate the low temperature environment. Varying speeds between 1 and 3 m/s were used to study the degradation mechanism of the welded steel. Also, the ratio of MEG: 1 wt. % NaCl was kept at 1:4 for the MEG/NaCl solution. Static corrosion condition was also studied and compared with the flowing conditions. Results indicated that the alloy degraded with observable weight loss in pure 1wt. % NaCl at both temperatures whereas there was very negligible weight loss in all the samples in MEG/NaCl solution.
