316L steel is predominantly used in manufacturing the components of high-pressure boilers, heat exchangers, aerospace engines, oil and gas refineries, etc. Its notable percentage of chromium offers resistance against corrosion and is mostly implemented in harsh environments. However, long-term exposure to these components in such environments can reduce their corrosion resistance property. Particularly at high temperatures, the oxide film formed on this type of steel reacts with the chloride, sulfides, sulfates, fluorides and forms intermetallic compounds which affect its resistance, followed by failures and losses. This work is focused on investigating the hardness, microstructure and corrosion resistance of the laser cladded Colmonoy-6 particles on the 316L steel substrate. The cladded specimens were dissected into cubic shapes and the microstructure present in the cladded region was effectively analyzed using the FESEM along with the corresponding EDS mapping. For evaluating the hardness of the cladded samples, the nanoindentation technique was performed using the TI980 TriboIndenter and the values were measured. The potentiodynamic polarization curves were plotted for both the substrate and clad samples at 0, 18, 42 and 70 h for revealing the corrosion resistance behavior. In addition, the EIS analysis was carried out to further confirm the resistance offered by the samples. The surface roughness morphology was evaluated after the corrosion process using the laser microscope, and the roughness values were measured and compared with the substrate samples. The result showed that the cladded samples experience greater hardness, lower values of surface roughness and provide better corrosion resistance when compared with substrate samples. This is due to the deposition of precipitates of chromium-rich carbide and borides that enhances the above properties and forms a stable passive film that resists corrosion during the corrosion process.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to quantify the influence of alternating current (AC) interference on hydrogen evolution reaction of X80 steel. Design/methodology/approach The hydrogen evolution potential was obtained by cathodic potentiodynamic polarization curve. The instantaneous potential under AC interference was obtained by high-frequency acquisition with three-electrode system. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel polarization curves were used to study the influence mechanism of AC interference on instantaneous potential. Findings It was concluded that the hydrogen evolution reaction could occur on X80 steel under AC interference. There were critical AC current densities of about 100 to 200 A/m2, beyond which the cathode reaction of X80 steel changed from oxygen absorption to hydrogen evolution. Besides the pH value, the initial polarization potential EZ and impedance module of the steel/electrolyte interface under AC interference were also the factors that affected the critical AC densities in different solutions. Originality/value This research quantified the hydrogen evolution capacity of X80 steel under AC interference, which could be applied to clear the effect of AC interference on hydrogen evolution reaction.

X80 pipeline steel specimens were treated by electrochemical hydrogen charging under various current density and charging time. The polarization resistance and corrosion rate of X80 steel were analyzed in Yingtan simulated soil solution under the different hydrogen charging conditions. The results showed that hydrogen accelerated anodic dissolution and enhanced corrosion sensitivity. With hydrogen in the steel, the charge transfer resistance and polarization resistance decreased, double electric layer capacitor and corrosion current increased. The effects were enhanced with the increase of hydrogen charging time and current density.

The stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of X80 pipeline steel was investigated in a simulated soil solution using slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests. The different potentials were applied in the tests. The fracture surfaces were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X80 steel was susceptible to SCC in simulated solution. The SCC susceptibility had no apparent change with the anodic potentials applied. The fracture mechanism was anodic dissolution. However, the SCC susceptibility increased with the decrease of the cathodic potentials obviously. The cracking was induced by the Hydrogen diffusing into the metal.

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of X80 pipeline steel, which was used in the Second West-East Gas Pipeline, was investigated in simulated soil solution of Xinzhou in Hubei province of China. The SCC susceptibility was studied using the slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests in which different potentials were applied. The fracture surfaces were observed using SEM. X80 steel was susceptible to SCC in simulated solution. The SCC was not serious with the anodic potentials applied. The fracture mechanism was anodic dissolution. But the SCC was affected obviously with different cathodic potentials because of the different influence of the hydrogen.

The electrochemical behaviors of X80 steel under different charging current in an acidic soil solution were investigated by open circuit potential, potentiodynamic scan and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results show that cathodic charging promotes the formation of corrosion product on the electrode surface, accordingly, the OCP changes slightly. The hydrogen ions on electrode surface are exhausted during the charging process, therefore the cathodic reaction is restrained meanwhile the anodic process iron dissolution increases. EIS result shows that the corrosion rate under OCP was inhibited by cathodic charging. However, the anodic process was enhanced by charging under-0.4 VSCE.
