Resumo: The present study analyzes the influence of the presence of Ca2+, by the addition of CaCO3 in water saturated with CO2, on the corrosion of SAE 1045 steel tempered and quenched under conditions of 80° C, 15 MPa and 168 hours (7 days) andon the properties of the corrosion scales formed on the steel surface. The corrosion rates of the steel were determined by weight loss tests according to ASTM G1-03 (2010). The techniques of electron scanning microscopy by field emission (FEG/MEV), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and potentiodynamic polarization were used to obtain information about the properties of corrosion scales. Uniform corrosion was observed and the results indicated that by adding calcium carbonate, with concentrations of 10 ppm, 100 ppm, 1000 ppm and 10000 ppm of Ca2+ in solution, the corrosion rates by weight loss and the thicknesses of the corrosion product films decreased. However, the addition of calcium carbonate decreased the corrosion rate for all concentrations, probably due to its property of increasing the pH of the solution. The highest corrosion rate determined by weight loss was observed when corrosion was induced without the presence of calcium carbonate and with concentration of 100 ppm of Ca2+. The corrosion rate did not changed linearly with Ca+ concentrations, the highest corrosion rate was observed for 100 ppm of Ca2+. The EDS analyzes provide information that a mixed carbonate is formed in presence of Ca+2 in solution, probably FexCa1-xCO3, with increasing of Ca incorporation in the crystalline lattice of FeCO3, with increasing of calcium content and a respective reduction of Fe amounts. The XRD analyzes also indicated that the corrosion product films formed in the presence of calcium are composed by FeCO3 enriched with Ca besides oxides and iron hydroxides as goethite - FeO(OH) and Fe3O4 - magnetite. Based on the electrochemical tests, the film that had the more negative potential (Ecorr) and higher corrosion current density (icorr) was the one formed in the presence of 100 ppm Ca2+, and this film showed electrochemical properties very similar to the bare steel.
