Title: Anaerobic Corrosion of Carbon Steel and Cast Iron in Artificial Groundwaters: Part 1—Electrochemical Aspects

If the iron insert comes into contact with anoxic geological water, anaerobic corrosion will occur. This paper presents a study of the electrochemical aspects of anaerobic corrosion of carbon steel in artificial Swedish granitic groundwaters. The electrochemical measurements confirm that anaerobic corrosion will lead to the generation of hydrogen, but the rate of corrosion will be anodically limited by the formation of a corrosion product film. The corrosion rate was unaffected by hydrogen pressures up to 100 atm.Read More
