Abstract: Aiming at the corrosion problem in the phase change zone of low pressure cylinder of steam turbine, the effect of acetic acid (HAC) on the corrosion of 2Cr12MoV steel in primary setting water is studied by means of weight loss,SEM surface topography analysis, raman spectroscopy analysis and potentiodynamic polarization test, to reveal the effect of acetic acid on the corrosion of low pressure cylinder of steam turbine. The experimental results show that the corrosion mechanism of 2Cr12MoV steel in HAC solution is a buffering mechanism, acetic acid does not directly participate in the cathodic reduction reaction, but continuously provides H+ to accelerate cathodic reaction by ionization.The corrosion rate of 2Cr12MoV steel increases with the increase of acetic acid concentration,the corrosion rate of 2Cr12MoV steel in 100 mg/L HAC solution decreases rapidly at the beginning of soaking and it was stable at about 0.012 mm/a after 120 h.

Key words: acetic acid, corrosion, early condensate, blade steel
