Abstract

The corrosion behavior of carbon steel in an aqueous solution containing dissolved CO ₂, H ₂S, and HCOOH at high temperature was investigated by conducting a series of systematic experiments. The influence of each (possible) corrosive species (CO ₂, H ₂S, and HCOOH) on corrosion mechanisms were explored through detailed analysis of corrosion rates and corrosion product layers. The results showed that the formation and integrity of the Fe ₃O ₄ layer was compromised in the presence of HCOOH, probably due to the formation of Fe(COOH) ⁺which impedes the formation of Fe ₃O ₄ at the initial stage of the corrosion process.
