Annually, high investments are made in the maintenance of pipelines used in the oil industry around the globe. Thus, solutions are sought that combine low cost, reproducibility and properties that are consistent, mainly against corrosion. One of these is the use of materials that have high mechanical and anticorrosive properties in the form of coatings, which could be deposited by welding. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different welding parameters on the corrosion resistance of coatings based on the Inconel 625 alloy, deposited by metal inert gas welding metal (MIG) process in API 5L X70 steel. The parameters were optimized using the factorial experimental design and the results analyzed by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Three deposits with ½ overlap were performed MIG, followed by a cross section cut in the samples for analysis of the dilution, iron content and corrosion resistance by potentiodynamic polarization (PP) through corrosion potential (Ecorr), corrosion current (Icorr) and polarization resistance (Rp). The coatings obtained presented values of the dilution ranging from 5.8% to 15.01%. The coating that presented lower dilution value, also was the one with lower Icorr and Fe, besides higher Rp and Ecorr, thus, greater corrosion resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
