Role of Mexican Clay Soils on Corrosiveness and Stress Corrosion Cracking of Low-Carbon Pipeline Steels: A Case Study

This work analyzed the physicochemical effect of different types of Mexican clay soils on corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior in contact with X60 and X65 steels. Four soils were obtained from the right of way land in southern Mexico at 1.5 m depth close to pipelines. Two soils were from the state of Oaxaca (SO1 and SO2), and two others from the state of Veracruz (SV1 and SV2). Physicochemical and textural analysis of soils was...
