This paper aims to investigate the corrosion behaviour of heat-treated standard duplex stainless steel (UNS S32205) in the recovery of bitumen from Nigerian-rich tar sand, using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as the process solution. Appropriate material family needs to be identified for the exploitation of tar sand resources to ensure sustainable extraction of bitumen. UNS S32205 offers exceptional mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance which makes it a great material choice for demanding applications, including offshore platforms and construction projects. Samples of UNS 32205 were heat-treated and immersed in the digested tar sand, maintaining a process temperature of 90°C. The microstructure of the corrosion coupons was studied using SEM/EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope/Energy Dispersive Spectroscope), and the corrosion rate of the samples was derived using gravimetric technique following ASTM G31 standard. The SEM micrographs indicated varying degrees of pits associated with the passivity of UNS 32205 and an imbalance between its ferrite and austenite phases due to the presence of secondary precipitates formed during heat treatment.The normalized sample, having a corrosion rate of 0.053 mm/year, exhibited the best corrosion resistance, followed by oil quenching (0.054 mm/year), then annealing (0.076 mm/year), and water quenching (0.077 mm/year), where they all showed improved corrosion resistance over the as-received sample having a corrosion rate of 0.078 mm/year. |
