CREEPAGE OF STEEL CABLES, DAMAGED BY CONTACT AND FRICATIVE CORROSION

IMPROVING PITTING CORROSION OF 304 STAINLESS STEEL BY ELECTROPOLISHING TECHNIQUE

Several surface modification techniques such as ion implantation, surface laser melting, have been employed to improve pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Electropolishing is a technique in which the surface roughness is eliminated through a selective electrochemical dissolution. The effect of electropolishing on pitting corrosion of 304 stainless steel (SS) was investigated employ...

Investigation of Corrosion of Steel by Lead Bismuth Eutectic

A new research program has begun at UNLV in accelerator transmutation of waste. Lead Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) has been proposed for use in programs for accelerator transmutation of waste. The LBE acts both as a coolant and as a sputtering target. We have recently initiated a program to investigate the corrosion of steels by LBE. Corrosion products and chemical reactions will be identified using U...

Suppression of Corrosion Growth of Stainless Steel by Ultrasound

Inhibition of corrosion of carbon steel by heptane sulphonic

Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in dam water by sodium heptane sulphonate (SHS) and zinc ion system was investigated using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization methods. Results of weight loss method indicated that inhibition efficiency (IE) increased as the inhibitor concentration increased. A synergistic effect existed between SHS and Zn. The influence of sodium potassium tartrate...

Controlling the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Mild Steel by Intercritical Annealing and Subcritical Tempering

The effects of intercritical annealing and subcritical tempering on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of mild steel were studied. It was revealed that intercritical annealing followed by quenching resulted in the development of a ferritic-martensitic dual phase (DP) microstructure with high tensile strength, disappearance of the yield-point phenomenon, superior work-hardening b...
