Abstract

The corrosion mechanisms occurring at the homogeneous porous layer was determined assuming that the pores had a cylindrical geometry, and that the initial interface of a carbon steel-CO2 solution behaved as a transmission line (TL). TL modeling quantitatively assessed the impedance distribution and the mesoporous layer formation and evolution at the interface, while describing the physical characteristics of the mesoporous FeCO3 layer at the base and wall within the initial pore. The TL helped to characterize four stages during the interfacial evolution: active, active-porous layer, mixed layer, and the reactive stages. Using TLs helped to quantify the dissolution process and distinguish the mechanisms with good agreement between calculated magnitudes and experimental data.
