Characteristics of hydrogen embrittlement in high-pH stress corrosion cracking of X100 pipeline steel in carbonate/ bicarbonate solution
Highlights The hydrogen plays an important role in high-pH SCC under cathodic potentials. Under cathodic potentials, cracks propagate along the low residual strain path. FIB is used to research the microstructure of crack.
Abstract Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of X100 grade pipeline steel was researched in carbonate/bicarbonate solutions by using slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests, electrochemical testing, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the focused ion beam (FIB) lift-out technique and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is found that the X100 pipeline steel has low SCC sensitivity at the open circuit potential (OCP) and has high susceptible to SCC owing to the combined effect of anodic dissolution (AD) and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) at the applied cathodic potentials in carbonate/ bicarbonate solutions. At applied cathodic potentials less than about −950 mV, the SCC processes of X100 steel are dependent on AD and HE, while at more negative applied potentials, HE plays a more dominant role. The detailed SCC mechanism was studied by advanced detection methods. The results show that cracks propagated along the interface with low residual strain at various cathodic potentials, indicating that the low residual path is more active for both the anodic reaction and dislocation emission, and the high residual strain area may act as the cathodic zone. This phenomenon will be helpful to the design of high-SCC-resistant high-strength pipeline steel.
