Abstract

A uniform design experimental method was employed to discuss the interactive influence of Cl- concentration, pH values and temperature on the pitting susceptibility of X120 pipeline steel in HCO3- + Cl- solutions by a potentiodynamic scan technique. The experimental results indicate that Cl- concentration, pH values and temperature have great effect on the corrosion and passive behavior of X120 pipeline steel in HCO3-+ Cl- solutions, and the influence order is as follows: Cl- concentration has the greatest impact, then the combined action of Cl- concentration and temperature, the third one is pH values, and temperature has the smallest impact. X120 pipeline steel has the least pitting susceptibility in the HCO3- + Cl- solution whose Cl- concentration is 0 mol · L-1, pH value is 8.5 and temperature is 0°C.
