Grooving Corrosion on ERW Steel Pipe in Sea Water

Corrosion and scaling in Bandar Abbas Pipe water network

Introduction: Scaling and corrosion is one the most important indices in water quality evaluation. Occurrence of scaling or corrosion may create disorder in economy of water and wastewater industry. In addition, corrosion produces by - products in water leading to health problem and reduction of water pipe life-time. In this study, the condition of scaling and corrosion in Bandar Abbas wa...

Corrosion Fatigue of 17-4pH Stainless Steel in a Simulated Sea Water Solution

Since martensitic precipitation hardened 17-4pH stainless steel has been widely used in corrosive environments, evaluation of its corrosion fatigue behavior is important. In this research, after microstructural studies, mechanical, corrosion, fatigue and corrosion fatigue tests were performed on 17-4pH specimens. Fatigue and corrosion fatigue tests were carried out at the  stress ratio of -1 an...

Irradiated Assisted Corrosion of Stainless Steel in Light Water Reactors – Focus on Radiolysis and Corrosion Damage

Laser Grooving of Surface Cracks on Hot Work Tool Steel

Repair welding (RW) with wire cladding is a common procedure to extend the in-service life of heavily loaded tool parts for die and mould industries 1-5 . The main advantages of repair welding are short downtime and cost efficiency compared to production of new tool part. Repair welding in general lowers the tool cost in the final part and enables higher added value to the die casting and injec...

Transgranular Stress Corrosion Cracking of 304L Stainless Steel Pipe Clamps in Direct Use Geothermal Water Heating Applications

Direct use geothermal heating relies on heat extracted from naturally occurring geothermal water sources to provide heating needs for commercial and residential use. The city of Boise, Idaho maintains the largest district geothermal heating system in the United States, utilizing a source of geothermal water at 80°C. 304 Stainless steel (UNS S30400) pipe clamps are used throughout the system as ...
