Abstract

The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a strategic, vast region that is home to numerous marine structures. Duplex and austenitic stainless steels (SS) are potential materials for critical components in offshore drilling, production, service, and oil storage platforms. In this investigation, the corrosion behavior of three SS in GOM seawater were studied by applying electrochemical, mechanical, and biological test methods.
