Abstract

The corrosion behavior of 2507 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) in H2S-free and H2S-containing acidic environments was investigated. In N2 environment, the dissolution of Fe was intensified with potential, resulting in the increase in the current density. The presence of H2S decreased the corrosion resistance of 2507 SDSS. As the potential rose between − 0.45 and − 0.37 V(SCE), the selective dissolution of the ferrite was declined due to the increase in the content of Cr and Fe species in the corrosion product layer. Interestingly, when the potential was above − 0.37 V(SCE), the formation of pits in the ferritic region at the phase boundary interface extended toward the ferritic region with the increasing potential under the synergistic effect of H2S.
