Currently, the simulated wet hydrogen sulfide environment test is not only cumbersome and costly, but the hydrogen sulfide gas used also poses a huge safety hazard to test personnel and the environment. The method according to the disclosure uses the cathode hydrogen charging method to provide equivalence for the hydrogen charging behavior of pipeline steel in the wet hydrogen sulfide environment, thereby efficient research and safe and rapid assessment of hydrogen damage to pipeline steel are achieved, and it is not required to use the highly toxic gas hydrogen sulfide, which can better ensure the safety of test personnel and equipment, does not cause harm to the environment, and is helpful for studying the hydrogen damage mechanism of pipeline steel under engineering and laboratory conditions.
[0062] The technical solution provided by the disclosure is further described below based on specific embodiments.
[0063] Step 1: A thin slice sample is taken from the pipeline steel used in the test, and after processing, the sample to be tested is obtained.
[0064] In the specific implementation, the material selection is carried out first: X65 pipeline steel base material is selected, and the mechanical properties of the material are shown in the following table.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Mechanical properties of pipeline steel base material Yield Tensile Material strength (MPa) strength (MPa) X65 501 588
[0065] When sampling, it is ensured that the thickness direction is parallel to the diameter direction of the pipeline. The size of the thin slice sample is 10102 mm. After sampling, the sample is ultrasonically cleaned respectively in acetone and anhydrous ethanol for 15 minutes.
[0066] Then, the thin slice sample is connected to a wire on a side in the thickness direction through conductive glue, and another side is sanded to 2000#with sandpaper, and then polished with polishing paste with a particle size of 2.5 m until there is no scratch on the surface. The whole thin slice sample is sealed with epoxy resin, and only the polished surface and the wire connector are exposed, thereby the sample to be tested as shown in
[0067] Step 2: The cathode hydrogen charging method is used to perform hydrogen charging on each sample to be tested under different reaction conditions to obtain several first hydrogen charging samples, in which the sample to be tested is connected to the negative electrode of the constant current meter and placed in an acidic solution for cathode hydrogen charging. During the test, the time gradient and current density gradient are respectively controlled.
[0068] As shown in
[0069] cathode hydrogen charging process may vary. For the X65 thin slice sample used in the test, the solution used is a mixed solution of 0.5 mol/L sulfuric acid and 1 g/L thiourea. A positive electrode 2 of the constant current meter is connected to a platinum electrode 4, and a negative electrode 1 is connected to a sample 3. In the test environment, the temperature is: 24+3 C., and the pressure is: 0.1 MPa.
[0070] Under the above test conditions, shown as follows: [0071] (1) t.sub.1=2h, i=10, 20, 40, 80 mA/cm.sup.2; [0072] (2) t.sub.1=4 h, i=10, 20, 40, 80 mA/cm.sup.2, the two sets of parameters are selected to perform cathode hydrogen charging.
[0073] Step 3: The wet hydrogen sulfide environment method is used to perform hydrogen charging on each sample to be tested under different reaction conditions to obtain a second hydrogen charging sample, in which the controlled variables in the test are respectively time and hydrogen sulfide concentration.
[0074] The hydrogen charging in the wet hydrogen sulfide environment is carried out according to the standard NACE MR0175-2015, NACE-A solution is adopted, that is, 5% NaCl and 0.5% CH.sub.3COOH aqueous solution by mass, and the purity of the introduced H.sub.2S gas is greater than or equal to 99.5%. The test environment is consistent with cathode hydrogen charging.
[0075] Hydrogen charging in the wet hydrogen sulfide environment requires a corrosion-resistant closed container, which includes an air inlet, an air outlet, a liquid inlet, and a liquid drain. Before introducing H.sub.2S gas into the solution, nitrogen gas with a purity of 99.5% is introduced into the solution at a nitrogen flow rate of 100 ml/min for 1 hour to remove oxygen.
[0076] After the H.sub.2S gas is introduced, the H.sub.2S concentration in the solution is measured using the iodine titration method in NACE TM0177-2016. Under the above test conditions, shown as follows: [0077] (1) C.sub.H2S=1500 mg/L, t.sub.2=1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 days; [0078] (2) C.sub.H2S=2000 mg/L, t.sub.2=1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 days; [0079] (3) C.sub.H2S=2500 mg/L, t.sub.2=1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 days, the three sets of parameters are selected to perform hydrogen charging in the wet hydrogen sulfide environment.
[0080] The wet hydrogen sulfide environment method is shown in
[0081] Step 4: The electrochemical method is adopted to measure hydrogen content of each of the first hydrogen charging sample and the second hydrogen charging sample.
[0082] As shown in
[0083] It is necessary to measure the change of the anode current of the sample not charged with hydrogen under the same condition. The data is used as the background current curve. The hydrogen concentration of the material under the set parameters is calculated based on the interpolation of the area included in the current curve before and after hydrogen charging. The calculation formula is:
[0084] In the formula, Q.sub.abs is the total amount of hydrogen absorbed by the test sample, F is the Faraday constant (96487C/mol), and v is the effective volume of the test sample (0.2 cm.sup.3 in the test).
[0085] The calculated hydrogen concentrations of the cathode hydrogen charging and hydrogen sulfide hydrogen charging test samples (unit: 10.sup.6 mol/cm.sup.3) are as follows:
TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Hydrogen content of the first hydrogen charging sample Current density i (mA/cm.sup.2) 10 20 40 80 t.sub.1 = 2 h 1.14058 1.56927 2.53146 3.7598 t.sub.1 = 4 h 0.783 1.677 2.983 4.761

[0086] Step 5: The least square method is used to perform curve fitting on the obtained result, and according to the fitting formula, the time or current density required for cathode hydrogen charging to achieve equivalence with a given wet hydrogen sulfide environment is calculated.
[0087] Respectively according to:
[0088] Fitting is performed on the hydrogen concentrations of cathode hydrogen charging and hydrogen charging in the wet hydrogen sulfide environment, in which C.sub.H1 is the hydrogen concentration of the first hydrogen charging sample obtained by the cathode hydrogen charging method (unit: 10.sup.6 mol/cm.sup.3), C.sub.H2 is the hydrogen concentration of the second hydrogen charging sample obtained by the wet hydrogen sulfide environment method (unit: 10.sup.6 mol/cm.sup.3), t.sub.1 is the hydrogen charging time of the cathode hydrogen charging method (unit: hours), t.sub.2 is the hydrogen charging time of the wet hydrogen sulfide environment method (unit: days), i is the current density of the cathode hydrogen charging method (unit: mA/cm.sup.2), C.sub.H2S is the hydrogen sulfide concentration of the solution in the wet hydrogen sulfide environment method (unit: mg/L), A.sub.1, A.sub.2, B.sub.1, B.sub.2 are the corresponding coefficients of the fitting surface, and C.sub.1 and C.sub.2 are the constant terms of the fitting surface. The obtained fitting surfaces are:
[0089] The fitting curves of hydrogen charging concentrations for the cathode hydrogen charging method and the wet hydrogen sulfide environment method are respectively shown in
[0090] Also, the final formula is obtained:
alternatively
[0091] The output on the left side of Formula (10) is the time required for cathode hydrogen charging to achieve equivalence with the target wet hydrogen sulfide hydrogen charging, and the output on the left side of Formula (11) is the current density required for cathode hydrogen charging to achieve equivalence with the target wet hydrogen sulfide.
[0092] Step 6: The above formulas are used to determine the relevant parameters of cathode hydrogen charging achieving equivalence with the target wet hydrogen sulfide environment.
[0093] In this embodiment, the target wet hydrogen sulfide environment is: solution hydrogen sulfide concentration is 1800 mg/L, the hydrogen charging time is 4 days, and it is desired that a similar hydrogen charging effect can be obtained after 4 hours of cathode hydrogen charging. Substituting the above into Formula (11) for calculation, it is obtained that the current density should be selected as 33.6 mA/cm.sup.2.
[0094] It should be easily understood by persons skilled in the art that the above description is only preferred embodiments of the disclosure and the embodiments are not intended to limit the disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the disclosure should be included in the protection scope of the disclosure.
