Stress Corrosion Cracking Process of X60 Steel Immersed in a Brine Solution with Corrosion Inhibitor through the Electrochemical Noise Technique

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) process of an API X60 steel exposed to a brine solution with and without addition of corrosion inhibitor was analyzed through electrochemical noise (EN). A NACE brine solution without and adding 100 ppm of inhibitor was used like electrolyte at atmospheric pressure and 60°C. The SCC assessment was carried out using slow strain rate tests (SSRT) at strain rate of 1x10-6s-1in accordance with NACE TM-198. During SSRT...
