The corrosion of bare steel under an aqueous boundary layer with dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) was modeled to investigate the effect of CO2. The model incorporated the coupled effect of CO2 diffusion, hydration, local ionic equilibria, ferrous carbonate (FeCO3) precipitation, and steel corrosion. The model was verified against published experimental data under both FeCO3-saturated and unsaturated boundary layers. Good agreement was shown under a variety of conditions. For saturated boundary layers, the results show that the corrosion rate in carbonic acid (H2CO3) is greater than in hydrochloric acid (HCl) for a given pH and that H2CO3 reduction is the cause for the increase of corrosion rate in H2CO3. Increasing temperature was found to increase corrosion rate substantially. This work provides further understanding of the CO2 corrosion mechanism and is a reliable, convenient, and practical tool for predicting the rate of CO2 corrosion.
