摘要

“Grooving” corrosion, or selective seam weld corrosion, is a common failure mode in tubular steel products joined by electric resistance welding (ERW). This type of corrosion is generally attributed to the formation of “active” MnS inclusions with sulfur-rich zones around the weld seam (producing anodic sites for corrosion to occur) and can be misinterpreted as a welding imperfection. This paper details the features and mechanisms associated with grooving corrosion, along with two case studies.
