摘要

Corrosion is one of the main causes of incidents occurred in hazardous liquid and gas transmission pipelines in the USA,resulting in a loss of over $12 billion per year.In this study,the corrosion resistance of pipeline steel coated with five types of enamel was investigated in 3.5 wt％ NaC1 solution with linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests.Steel coupons were cut from API 5L X65 pipeline steel and coated with five types of enamels using the wet process.The microstructures of all enamel samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy.Experimental results indicate that all enamel coatings increase the corrosion resistance of pipeline steel,and pure enamel PE2,mixed enamels ME1 and ME2 have higher corrosion resistances than pure enamel PE1 and mixed enamel ME3.
