Influência da tensão, velocidade de alimentação e DBCP na resistência à corrosão de revestimentos à base da liga inconel 625 depositada por MIG.

Abstract

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 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 by MIG welding process, followed by a cross section cut in the samples for analysis of the dilution, iron content and corrosion resistance by linear potentiodynamic polarization (PPL) 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.
