Corrosion Prevention by Environment Control

Corrosion Prevention

Speculating about where the future of the field of corrosion prevention, detection, and rehabilitation might lead is interesting—but not without risk. We all are aware of the revolution in electronics, particularly digital electronics, and information science during the past 20 years. We also should recognize that materials science and technology have undergone a major revolution, bringing us n...

A Short Introduction to Corrosion and Its Control Corrosion of Metals and Its Prevention What Is Corrosion

The consequences of corrosion are many and varied and the effects of these on the safe, reliable and efficient operation of equipment or structures are often more serious than the simple loss of a mass of metal. Failures of various kinds and the need for expensive replacements may occur even though the amount of metal destroyed is quite small. Some of the major harmful effects of corrosion can ...

Volatile inhibitors of metal corrosion II. Interaction of systems being protected with the environment and corrosion prevention conditions

This paper is a continuation of a series of publications dealing with the protection of metals by volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs). It presents a review on the propagation of VCI vapors, VCI distribution in the volume being protected, and specifics of vapor-phase protection of isolated systems and systems interacting with the environment in various ways. The review is supplemented by the au...
