Corrosion is an unavoidable issue that steel encounters during service; however, the generic methods employed for corrosion prevention often need high cost or preparation conditions. In this study, a facile chemical replacement deposition method was proposed to realize an anticorrosion superhydrophobic coating on a X80 steel surface. The growth mechanism of the rough structure and its impact on the wettability of the superhydrophobic coating were analyzed. The superhydrophobic coating, deposited for 50 s and modified for 30 min, achieved optimal electrochemical properties and a maximum water contact angle. The immersion test, in the saturated CO2 oilfield produced water, demonstrated the better corrosion resistance of superhydrophobic coating than X80 steel. Correspondingly, a kinetic corrosion model was established to analyze the anticorrosion mechanism. In summary, this method significantly improves the corrosion resistance of X80 steel and is attractive for other industrial fields.

A novel environmental-friend corrosion inhibitor named cytosine- l -alanine derivative (CLAD) was synthesized by using small biological molecules to protect the X80 steel surface in HCl solution. The weight loss measurement, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and SEM measurement were used to systematically investigate the inhibition performance of CLAD. The results showed that the corrosion inhibition efficiency of CLAD reached 91%, which was 78% higher than that of l -alanine. And it was found that the impeded electron transfer, reduced metal dissolution and inhibited corrosion progress of metal surface were derived from the compact and uniform protective film. The adsorption of CLAD obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm , and adsorption behaviors included physical adsorption and chemical adsorption. Moreover, the quantum chemistry calculation parameters ( E HOMO , E LUMO and Δ N ) proved that the high corrosion inhibition efficiency of CLAD was associated with its strong adsorption as a barrier film on the steel surface. The results further demonstrated that the KI mixed CLAD was an alternative strategy to enhance the inhibition efficiency and reduce the cost.
