Corrosion of Low-Alloy Steel in Ethanolamine Steam Generator Chemistry—The Effect of Temperature and Flow Rate by Iva Betova, Martin Bojinov, Vasil Karastoyanov

“…The corrosion of low-alloy steel in ethanolamine solution, simulating steam generator chemistry, is studied by in situ chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy combined with ex situ analysis of the obtained oxide films and model calculations. Hydrodynamic calculations of the proposed setup to study flow-assisted corrosion demonstrate that turbulent conditions are achieved. …”
