Gas transmission pipeline corrosion commences when coatings disbond, exposing the steel to groundwater. When this occurs, a number of anaerobic and aerobic corrosion scenarios can be envisaged. The initial nominally anaerobic corrosion period has been investigated by applying a combination of electrochemical methods (i.e., corrosion potential, linear polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy [EIS] measurements) and surface analytical techniques (scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy). An evolution in film properties was observed and attributed to the entry of adventitious oxygen into faults within the preformed film. This leads to an increase in overall corrosion and a change in properties of the film as detected by EIS and Raman analysis. This article describes the mechanism involved in this transition, and provides a basisfor a more extensive study of the corrosion process encountered on switching between anaerobic and aerobic conditions. The overall goal of this study was to provide a mechanistic basis for the corrosion scenarios possible on gas transmission pipelines.
