Abstract The corrosion behavior of plain carbon steel in high temperature water has been studied using electrochemical polarization techniques. The influence of oxygen, hydrogen, and ammonia on the corrosion behavior has been studied over the range < 0.1–100 ppm. Potentiostatic anodic polarization data indicate that only oxygen has any effect on the anodic dissolution kinetics of carbon steel at 289 C (552 F). Controlled potential corrosion experiments at highly noble potentials in oxygenated water did not produce any form of localized corrosion. Cathodic Tafel polarization data indicate that the primary cathodic partial process during corrosion on ammonia and hydrogenated solutions is the reduction of hydrogen ions. Reduced steady-state corrosion rates observed in ammoniated solutions are due to the severe reduction in the limiting diffusion rate of hydrogen ions because of a simple pH effect. In oxygenated solutions, over the range 0.1–50 ppm O2, the major reduction process is the reduction of H+. At 50–100 ppm O2 levels, however, the reduction process changes to O2 + 2H2O + 4e → 4OH−, with the formation of a protective oxide film and a reduction of the steady-state corrosion rate to 0.2 mdd. Linear polarization studies indicated that the steady-state corrosion rate of carbon steel on hydrogenated solutions is relatively independent of H2 content. The corrosion rate on ammoniated solutions decreased with NH3 content over the range 1–100 ppm NH3. Corrosion rates in oxygenated water over the range < 0.08–100 ppm increase through a maximum at approximately 50 ppm then decreases to a low value at 100 ppm. This behavior is interpreted by the formation of a protective oxide film which is dependent on oxygen content. X-ray diffraction studies indicate the presence of a duplex oxide film in high oxygen solutions consisting of γFe2O3 and Fe3O4. At lower oxygen levels, only αFe2O3 was observed and also in ammoniated solutions. In hydrogenated solutions, with the highers corrosion rates, only αFe2O3 was observed on the surface.
