Temperature is an often overlooked water quality parameter that may influence corrosion of iron pipes in drinking water distribution systems. This study examined corrosion of cast iron samples in an aerobic, microbially stable water at different constant temperatures (5, 20, and 25°C) as well as in waters where the temperature continuously cycled (17.5 – 23°C and 5 – 20°C). The composition and ...

Hot dip aluminizing was carried out on the low carbon steel rod under optimized conditions. The aluminized samples were further oxidized at 1000̊C in air atmosphere at two different times of 20 and 60 minutes. Microstructure study and phase analysis were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods, respectively. The characterization of the coating showed that, Fe2...

Several austenitic stainless steels suitable for high temperature applications because of their high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties were investigated as biomaterials for dental use. The steels were evaluated by electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, cyclic polarization curves, measurements of open circuit potential, and linear polarizat...

In this paper , the effect of curing time and temperature as well as various primers on durability of high density polyethylene on plain carbon steel have been investigated. The aim is to increase adhesion, improve durability and also to produce a defect-free in order to improve the corrosion resistance of steel substrate. For this purpose, after surface preparation and applying a primer (zin...

The modes of erosion-corrosion are diverse and may vary from being "erosiondominated", where erosion of metal is the dominant process, to "corrosion-dominated", where erosion of oxide scale is the dominant process. The intermediate situation in which erosion of transient oxide is the predominant process is termed "erosion-corrosion-dominated" and describes the regime in which continual formatio...

Corrosion tests of 1015 low-carbon steel and two stainless steels (410 and 316L) were conducted in a pure zinc bath (99.98 wt pct Zn) in order to better understand the reaction mechanisms that occur during the degradation of submerged hardware at industrial general (batch) galvanizing operations. Through this testing, it was found that, in general, 316L stainless steel showed the best dissoluti...

The corrosion performance of stainless steel clad reinforcing bar (SCR) was investigated. Corrosion potential of SCR in various alkaline media as a function of time was measured periodically and corrosion rates were estimated using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). At room temperature, SCR without cladding breaks was free of corrosion for up to one year in all the testing conditions...
