H2S affect on Samarium Cobalt & Coating

H2S affect on Samarium Cobalt & Coating

H2S affect on Samarium Cobalt & Coating

(OP)
I am trying to research whether a FBE (Fusion Bonded Epoxy) coating would help prevent corrosion of samarium cobalt in deep bore conditions with H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) - assuming concentration of between 5% - 30%.

Any info gratefully received.

RE: H2S affect on Samarium Cobalt & Coating

What is the permeability of the epoxy to H2S?
Is this a dry (gas only) application or is there water and oil present also?  This will not be a garden variety of epoxy.

I would rather go with a solvent-less liquid system since there will be less chance for porosity.
You could look at FBE in two coats.  Holidays are what will kill you.

I would look at a phenolic resin, rather than an epoxy in this case. Or, if that's not enough, a parylene.

Those will give you the best chemically inert seal.
