Corrosive Behavior of ASTM A131 Grade A36 Carbon Steel Exposed in Diesel S10/ Saline Water

This paper sets out to evaluate the corrosion of ASTM A131 grade A36 carbon steel exposed to a diesel oil S10 / saline water system and the biodegradation of diesel oil S10 to simulate storage, transport and fuel use systems during a period of 30 days. The corrosion process was investigated through electrochemical tests of Open Circuit Potential (OCP), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Linear Polarization (LP). The morphology of the corrosion products were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the presence of saline water in the system containing diesel oil is an aggravating factor which promotes the biodegradation of the fuel and, consequently, aggravates the corrosion process.
