Abstract
The erosion resistance of CO2 corrosion scales formed on carbon steel was investigated in water-sand two-phase flow utilizing weight loss test, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The effects of CO2 partial pressure, stirring speed, test time, and grain size on the erosion resistance of the scales were analysed. Results show that several characteristics of CO2 corrosion scales are key factors affecting erosion resistance. Cubic polynomials are used to fit the erosion rate data, and effectively evaluate the ability of CO2 corrosion scales to resist erosion. An erosion mechanism, based on fluid dynamics and CO2 corrosion scales characteristics, is discussed.
