The electrochemical behaviour of Ni-base alloys (Inconel 625, Inconel 718, G3 and Incoloy 825) is carried out at 80 degrees C in CO(2)/H(2)S corrosion environments using cyclic potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The passivity mechanisms are analysed and discussed. In addition, some significant characterisation parameters such as E(corr), I(pass), E(pit), E(pp), Delta E and I(pass) in cyclic polarisation curves are analysed and compared to reveal the corrosion resistance of various Ni-base alloys. The equivalent circuit model and ZsimpWin software are utilised to discuss the Nyquist plots of various Ni-base alloys. The diffusion mechanism in EIS measurement is discussed. The result shows that the corrosion resistance of the Ni-base alloys to CO(2) corrosion or CO(2)/H(2)S corrosion follows the sequence: Inconel 625 > G3 > Inconel 718 > Incoloy 825. H(2)S works as a cathodic depolariser with accelerating initiation of the corrosion process. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
