Understanding and improving the protection of carbon steels in aqueous environments containing CO2

Carbon steel, construction material that is widely used in industry, can come into contact with an aggressive environment, such as aqueous environments that have been acidified by the presence of CO2, leading to corrosion-induced deterioration. In order to gain a better understanding and improve the protection of carbon steels in environments of this type, corrosion teams from IFPEN, INSA-Lyon’s Mateis Laboratory and the University of Leeds’ Institute of Functional Surfaces (IFS) have pooled their expertise to conduct joint research.
