Abstract
The pipeline transportation of hydrogen poses higher challenges to the safety of pipes. In this study, the corrosion mechanisms of SRB in X80 pipeline steel under H₂ conditions were investigated. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the introduction of hydrogen enhances SRB metabolic activity, facilitating the reduction of sulfate to sulfide and promoting hydrogen embrittlement. Additionally, hydrogen permeation tests confirmed that SRB significantly increase hydrogen diffusion in steel, accelerating corrosion. The enhanced hydrogen permeation under biotic conditions was linked to increased hydrogen uptake and sulfide formation, which further destabilized the steel microstructure. This study provides critical insights into the interplay between microbial activity, hydrogen permeation, and corrosion, offering a deeper understanding of the factors influencing hydrogen-assisted corrosion in steel pipelines. The findings contribute to the optimization of material performance and risk assessment in hydrogen-blended environments.
期刊介绍:
Electrochimica Acta is an international journal. It is intended for the publication of both original work and reviews in the field of electrochemistry. Electrochemistry should be interpreted to mean any of the research fields covered by the Divisions of the International Society of Electrochemistry listed below, as well as emerging scientific domains covered by ISE New Topics Committee.
