Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields such as corrosion evaluation of metal materials, and particularly relates to a method for evaluating the pitting corrosion behavior of an anti-corrosion layer under the action of an electric current. Background Art

[0002] In traditional studies on the corrosion of metal materials, most focus on the influence of a single factor on corrosion, making it difficult to comprehensively and accurately reflect the corrosion process under actual working conditions. However, the actual situation is that metal corrosion is a complex process involving the interaction of multiple physical fields.

[0003] In the actual application scenarios of metal materials, the anti-corrosion layer plays a key role in delaying metal corrosion. However, the anti-corrosion layers of most metal materials have varying degrees of damage, and pitting corrosion caused by local failure of the anti-corrosion layer has become one of the main forms of material failure. Once small holes appear in the anti-corrosion layer, the corrosion process of the metal matrix under the action of an electric current presents localized characteristics. And pitting corrosion has autocatalytic properties, and the local corrosion rate increases exponentially under the action of an electric current. The traditional weight loss method cannot capture the local dynamic change process, and the existing methods are difficult to quantify the coupling relationship of current density distribution, the distance between the anti-corrosion layer and the metal, and the pore diameter of the small holes, resulting in a lack of theoretical basis for the protection design.

[0004] Most current patents are directed at the evaluation method for the current corrosion of the entire metal matrix. For example, Patent CN119198527A discloses a method and system for evaluating the direct current stray current corrosion of oil and gas pipelines; Patent CN112251756A discloses a system and method for judging the dynamic direct current corrosion risk of buried metal pipelines. However, none of these patents involve the evaluation method for the pitting corrosion behavior after the anti-corrosion layer of the metal matrix is damaged, presenting an obvious technical gap. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the defects and deficiencies existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the pitting corrosion behavior of an anti-corrosion layer under the action of an electric current, aiming to solve the technical problem that the traditional evaluation method is difficult to quantify the coupling relationship of current density distribution, the distance between the anti-corrosion layer and the metal, and the pore diameter of the small holes. The method includes: obtaining the corrosion kinetic parameters (corrosion potential, corrosion current density, Tafel slope, and exchange current density) of the metal material through potentiodynamic polarization curve testing; preparing an anti-corrosion layer metal specimen with artificial small holes, and constructing a parameterized multi-physical field model in combination with finite element software to simulate the local current density distribution and corrosion evolution under different pore diameters (≥2 mm), distances (≥0 mm), and current densities (≥0 A / m 2 ) ; verifying the reliability of the model through experiments (corrosion potential error < 20%), and constructing a comprehensive evaluation index based on multi-parameter sensitivity analysis to achieve rapid assessment of the pitting corrosion risk of the anti-corrosion layer and optimization of the protection scheme.

[0006] The technical solution specifically adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A method for evaluating the pitting corrosion behavior of an anti-corrosion coating under the action of current, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) Obtain the corrosion kinetic parameters of the metal material: Analyze the corrosion potential, corrosion current density, anodic / cathodic Tafel slope, and anodic / cathodic exchange current density through potentiodynamic polarization curve testing;

[0009] (2) Construct a parametric multi-physics field model: Define the geometric parameters of the anti-corrosion coating pores, the spacing of metal defects, and the current density as dynamically adjustable variables, construct an electrochemical corrosion model through finite element software, and define the anodic / cathodic reaction kinetic parameters at the metal-electrolyte interface, including the corrosion potential, corrosion current density, and Tafel slope;

[0010] (3) Simulate the corrosion evolution process: Generate the local current density distribution and corrosion thickness change data under different working conditions based on parametric scanning, analyze the autocatalytic characteristics of pitting corrosion through steady-state solution of the initial current distribution and transient solution of the dynamic corrosion evolution;

[0011] (4) Experimentally verify the reliability of the model: Apply current to the anti-corrosion coating specimen with artificial pores, compare the corrosion potential error and the macroscopic morphology consistency, and verify the reliability of the simulation results;

[0012] (5) Construct a comprehensive evaluation index: Allocate weights based on multi-parameter sensitivity analysis, generate a dimensionless index for quantifying the corrosion risk through weighted summation after linearly normalizing the parameters, and divide the risk levels according to the preset thresholds.

[0013] Further, the potentiodynamic polarization curve test is carried out in a simulated soil electrolyte, and the electrolyte is Yingtan soil simulation solution. The test current density covers 0 - 60 A / m 2 , and the corrosion potential, corrosion current density, anodic / cathodic Tafel slope, and anodic / cathodic exchange current density are analyzed by the Tafel extrapolation method.

[0014] Further, the geometric parameters of the anti-corrosion coating pores include a pore diameter of 2 - 10 mm, the interface spacing between the metal defect and the anti-corrosion coating is 0 - 5 mm, and the current density range is 0 - 60 A / m 2 , and the parameter range generates multi-condition corrosion data through parametric scanning.

[0015] Further, the anti-corrosion coating material is epoxy resin or polyurethane, with a thickness of 3 mm, and artificial pores are prepared by laser processing.

[0016] Further, the parametric scan includes a steady-state solution for the initial current distribution and a transient solution for corrosion evolution. The time step is set to 5 days, and the total duration is 31 days.

[0017] Further, the experimental verification includes connecting three groups of specimens in series and applying a current density of 10 A / m 2 , with the relative error of the corrosion potential less than 20%, and the corrosion morphology is matched through macroscopic observation and thickness measurement.

[0018] Further, through the multi-parameter sensitivity analysis, it is determined that the contribution weight of the current density to the corrosion risk is the highest, the weight of the small hole aperture of the anti-corrosion layer is the lowest, and the weight of the interface spacing is in the middle.

[0019] Further, in the finite element software, the conductivity of the electrolyte domain is defined as 0.02242 S / m, and the conductivity of the anti-corrosion layer is defined as 6.67×10 -5 S / m, which is used to construct the electrochemical corrosion model.

[0020] Further, the comprehensive evaluation index processes the parameters through linear normalization, and the threshold division includes low risk, medium risk, and high risk.

[0021] Further, the method is used for the risk assessment of the anti-corrosion layer breakage of oil and gas pipelines or buried metal structures, and the exponential growth effect of the local current density is quantified through the corrosion thickness cloud map.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention and its preferred embodiments at least include the following beneficial effects:

[0023] Experimental and numerical simulation closed-loop verification system:

[0024] Corrosion kinetic parameters (corrosion current density, Tafel slope, etc.) are obtained through potentiodynamic polarization experiments, combined with the finite element model to simulate the current density distribution. The experimental verification shows that the error of the corrosion potential and the macroscopic morphology consistency are high, solving the defect that the traditional weight loss method cannot capture local dynamic changes.

[0025] Multi-parameter coupled dynamic modeling:

[0026] The small hole aperture of the anti-corrosion layer (≥2 mm), the metal defect spacing (≥0 mm), and the current density (≥0 A / m 2 ) are set as dynamically adjustable variables. Multi-condition data are generated through parametric scanning to quantify the coupling relationship among the three, providing a theoretical basis for the protection design.

[0027] Comprehensive evaluation index quantifies risk:

[0028] Based on sensitivity analysis, it is determined that the contribution weight of current density to corrosion risk is the highest, and the weight of the small hole aperture of the anti-corrosion layer is the lowest. A dimensionless index is constructed through linear normalization, and low-risk (<0.3), medium-risk (0.3 - 0.6), and high-risk (>0.6) levels are divided, filling the gap in the existing evaluation system.

[0029] Special analysis of local corrosion after the anti-corrosion layer is damaged:

[0030] Focus on the autocatalytic characteristics of small holes in the anti-corrosion layer (exponential growth of local current density). By combining artificial small hole specimens with models, the mechanism of local corrosion acceleration is revealed.

[0031] High-precision engineering practicality:

[0032] The model is highly matched with the experimental data (corrosion thickness error <20%), and can be directly used to optimize the anti-corrosion schemes of oil and gas pipelines and buried metal structures, reducing maintenance costs. Description of the drawings

[0076] Step S1: Obtain corrosion kinetic parameters

[0077] Prepare an X80 steel specimen with a working area of 1 cm 2 and use Yingtan soil simulation liquid as the electrolyte. The schematic diagram of the experimental device for metal electrochemical corrosion under the action of current is as Figure 2 shown.

[0078] By open-circuit potential measurement and potentiodynamic polarization curve measurement, the polarization curve of X80 steel in the electrolyte without current was obtained, as Figure 3 shown.

[0079] The corrosion potential E corr , corrosion current i corr , anodic Tafel slope β a , cathodic Tafel slope β c , anodic exchange current density i 0,a , cathodic exchange current density i 0,c and other corrosion kinetic parameters were obtained and summarized in Table 1.

[0080] Table 1 Corrosion kinetic parameters of X80 steel

[0081]

[0082] During the experiment, electrochemical experiments under current were carried out, and two current densities of 10 A / m 2 and 20 A / m 2 were set, and the corrosion data are shown in Table 2.

[0083] Table 2 Electrochemical parameters of X80 steel under current

[0084]

[0085] Step S2: Construction of pitting corrosion characteristics

[0086] First, the metal material needs to be prepared, and the preparation process refers to the process of Example Step S1. The working area of the prepared metal specimen is a circle with a diameter of 20 mm. The schematic diagram of the pitting corrosion experiment specimen structure is as Figure 4 shown. Figure 4 Among them, Component 1 is the prepared metal specimen, which is the area where corrosion occurs; Component 2 is a circular ring made of acrylic material, which is used to control the distance between the anti-corrosion layer and the metal specimen; Component 3 is the anti-corrosion layer, whose main function is to isolate the electrolyte from the electrode, and small holes are pre-drilled in the anti-corrosion layer to simulate pitting corrosion.

[0087] In the pitting corrosion experiment, a current source is used, and a resistance box and an ammeter are used to regulate and monitor the current size in real time to ensure that the current is always stably maintained at the set value of 10 A / m 2 . To effectively reduce experimental errors, three groups of pitting corrosion experiments are set in series. By systematically regulating the pore size of the anti-corrosion layer (2 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm respectively) and the distance between the anti-corrosion layer and the working electrode specimen (the distance values are set to 0 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm), the relevant characteristics of pitting corrosion are deeply explored. The schematic diagram of the pitting corrosion experimental device is asFigure 5 as shown

[0088] Step S3: Modeling of Metal with Small Holes in the Anticorrosion Layer

[0089] Perform numerical simulation using COMSOL finite element numerical simulation software. During model construction, establish a cuboid electrolyte domain model with the electrolyte domain size set to 1m×1m×1m (length×width×depth). Set a rectangular current source leakage surface at the geometric center of the upper surface of the electrolyte domain, with the rectangular size being 100mm×100mm. Among them, the current density of the current source leakage is set to 0 - 60A / m 2 . Place a metal plate model on the lower surface of the electrolysis domain. The metal plate model size is set to 1000mm×1000mm×1mm (length×width×depth). Construct an anticorrosion layer model on the outer surface of the metal plate, with the anticorrosion layer thickness being 3mm. Open small holes at the geometric center of the anticorrosion layer surface, and set initial defects on the metal plate at the position directly below the small holes. Set the small hole diameter of the anticorrosion layer, the depth of the initial defect, and the current value size as adjustable variables. The small hole diameter of the anticorrosion layer is set to 2mm, 5mm, and 10mm; the initial defect of the metal plate is characterized by a rectangular defect, with the defect size being 100mm×100mm (length×width), and the height is set to 0mm, 2mm, and 5mm. The schematic diagram of the modeling of the metal with small holes in the anticorrosion layer is as Figure 6 shown, and its two-dimensional cross-sectional schematic diagram is as Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 among them; 10 is the electrolyte domain, 20 is the anticorrosion layer, 30 is the initial metal defect, and 40 is the metal material.

[0090] Define the basic properties of the constructed model. The conductivity of the electrolyte domain is 0.02242S / m, and the conductivity of the anticorrosion layer is 6.67×10 -5 S / m. In the COMSOL finite element software, the kinetic expressions of the anodic and cathodic reactions related to metal material corrosion can be represented by the Tafel equation:

[0091] Anodic reaction kinetic expression:

[0092]

[0093] In the formula, i a is the anodic local current density, i 0,a is the exchange current density of the anodic reaction, E is the electrode potential, E eq,a is the equilibrium potential of the anodic reaction of the electrode, and β a is the Tafel slope in the kinetics of the anodic reaction.

[0094] Cathodic reaction kinetic expression:

[0095]

[0096] In the formula, i c is the local current density of the cathode, and i 0,c is the exchange current density of the cathode reaction, and E eq,c is the equilibrium potential of the cathode reaction of the electrode, and β c is the Tafel slope in the kinetics of the cathode reaction.

[0097] The corrosion kinetic parameters of the metal material are the corrosion kinetic parameters measured in step S1 of the usage example.

[0098] Step S4: Numerical simulation solution of pitting corrosion under current

[0099] In the numerical simulation solution of pitting corrosion under current, the COMSOL software's built-in free tetrahedral mesh is used to mesh the electrolyte domain, and local mesh refinement is implemented in the areas around the initial metal defects and the small holes of the anticorrosion layer. An iterative solver is used for the solution, and the solution process is divided into two stages: steady-state solution and transient solution. During the steady-state solution, the initial current distribution state is obtained through relevant calculations; the transient solution time step range is from 1 day to 31 days, the time step is 5 days, and dynamic calculations are carried out to obtain the evolution of the corrosion morphology over time.

[0100] Parametric scans are performed on parameters such as the aperture of the small holes in the anticorrosion layer, the distance between the bottom of the metal defect and the interface of the anticorrosion layer, and the current density to obtain the corrosion data of the metal defects under different conditions.

[0101] Step S5: Verification of the metal corrosion morphology

[0102] The corrosion potential measured by the electrochemical experiment under the current in step S1 of the example is compared and analyzed with the simulation results. As can be seen from Table 3, the relative errors between the two are both less than 20%. This result fully shows that the simulation calculation based on this model has high reliability.

[0103] Table 3 Comparison table of simulation results and experimental results

[0104]

[0105] For the macroscopic morphology characterization of the pitting corrosion of the metal material, a macroscopic comparison and analysis of the simulation results and the morphology of the experimental specimens obtained in step S2 was carried out, as Figure 8 shown. Figure 8 Among them, (a1-c1) are the experimental results, and (a2-c2) are the simulation results. As can be seen from the figure, the corrosion degree is the most significant directly below the small hole area. The experimental results and the simulation results are highly consistent, and the two verify each other, strongly confirming the feasibility of the model.

[0106] Step S6: Establish an evaluation method for the pitting corrosion behavior of the anticorrosion coating under the action of current

[0107] Parametric scans are carried out for parameters such as the pore diameter of the anticorrosion coating, the distance between the bottom of the metal defect and the interface of the anticorrosion coating, and the current density, and the obtained simulation results are visually analyzed, as Figure 9 shown. In Figure 9 , (a1-c1) are different pore diameters of the anticorrosion coating, and (a1-a3) are different interface distances between the bottom of the metal defect and the anticorrosion coating.

[0108] Sensitivity analysis is carried out from the three parameters: the pore diameter of the anticorrosion coating, the distance between the bottom of the metal defect and the interface of the anticorrosion coating, and the magnitude of the applied current, as shown in Table 4.

[0109] Table 4 Parameter definitions

[0110] Parameter Name Symbol Physical Meaning Value Range Unit Small Hole Aperture d Aperture of Small Hole in Damaged Anticorrosion Coating ≥2 mm Interface Spacing s Vertical Distance from Center of Small Hole to Bottom of Metal Defect ≥0 mm Current Density i Applied DC Current Intensity ≥0 <![CDATA[A / m 2 >

[0111] The degree of influence of each parameter on the pitting corrosion behavior of the anticorrosion coating is determined through the sensitivity analysis results. The higher the degree of influence of a parameter, the higher the weight assigned to it. For example, if the current density has the most significant influence on the corrosion behavior, its weight can be set to a relatively high value. Secondly, each parameter is standardized. Parameters such as the pore diameter of the anticorrosion coating, the distance between the bottom of the metal defect and the interface of the anticorrosion coating, and the current density are transformed into dimensionless standardized values according to their value ranges and the action directions on the corrosion behavior, so as to be comprehensively considered on the same scale. Then, based on the standardized parameter values and their respective weights, a comprehensive evaluation index is constructed by weighted summation.

[0112] This index can quantitatively reflect the pitting corrosion behavior of the anticorrosion coating under the action of current. The higher the value, the more serious the pitting corrosion of the anticorrosion coating under the current parameter combination, and vice versa, the relatively lighter the corrosion situation, providing a comprehensive quantitative index for evaluating and comparing the pitting corrosion behavior of the anticorrosion coating under different working conditions.
