Steels used within the process chain of carbon capture and storage (CCS) are exposed to conditions that are currently not fully tested. In the present work a number of steels were selected as possible construction materials: Alloyed steels for application in the compression and injection sections and low alloyed carbon steels for use as pipelines. Exposure tests were conducted over 600 hours at ambient pressure in a continuous flow of a simulated gas stream consisting of carbon dioxide with low contents of the relevant flue gas components nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and water. Temperatures were adjusted to 5, 60 and 170 °C.
