Atomistic chemical inhomogeneities are anticipated to induce dissimilarities in surface potentials, which control corrosion initiation of alloys at the atomic scale. Precise understanding of corrosion is therefore hampered by lack of definite information describing how atomistic heterogeneities regulate the process. Here, using high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) scanning transmission electro...

Fe-2.25Cr-1Mo a widely used material for headers and steam tubes of boilers. Welding of steam tube to header is required for production of boiler. Heat affected zone of the weld can have poor mechanical properties and poor corrosion behavior leading to weld failure. The cost of material used for steam tube and header of boiler should be controlled. This study propose a new materials design for ...

The main purpose of this paper is to give an overview of some recent progress made in modelling of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. The review is not claimed to be complete. It is based on some of the author’s contributions in this research area especially the papers (Thoft-Christensen 2001) and (ThoftChristensen, Svensson and Frandsen 2005). In the paper, corrosion of reinforce...

subsea structures such as manifolds, line pipes and flow lines are important investments. also because of the sensitivity of environmental issues, corrosion of these structures is of vital importance. subsea corrosion management is different from on-shore and shallow water off-shore corrosion management in mainly three factors: materials, corrosion management practice and cathodic protection. t...

The effects of metallurgical factors on the aqueous corrosion behavior of highentropy alloys (HEAs) are reviewed in this article. Alloying (e.g., Al and Cu) and processing (e.g., heat treatments) effects on the aqueous corrosion behavior of HEAs, including passive film formation, galvanic corrosion, and pitting corrosion, are discussed in detail. Corrosion rates of HEAs are calculated using ele...

Corrosion is a natural process that seeks to reduce the binding energy in metals. The end result of corrosion involves a metal atom being oxidized. Surface corrosion on aluminum aircraft skins, near joints and around fasteners, is often an indicator of buried structural corrosion and cracking In this paper we proposed a new method on which we are moving towards designing a method to detect the ...

Pilot-scale cooling towers can be used to evaluate corrosion, scaling, and biofouling control strategies when using particular cooling system makeup water and particular operating conditions. To study the potential for using a number of different impaired waters as makeup water, a pilot-scale system capable of generating 27,000 kJ∕h heat load and maintaining recirculating water flow with a Reyn...

Metallic materials in practical use are normally exposed to corrosion in the atmospheric and aqueous environments. Metallic corrosion is one of the problems we have often encountered in our industrialized society; hence it has been studied comprehensively since the industrial revolution in the late eighteenth century. Modern corrosion science was set off in the early twentieth century with the ...

Corrosion tests of 316L and two intermetallic compounds Fe3AI and FeCrSi in industrial Galvanizing (Zn-0.18Al), GALFAN (Zn-5AI), GALVALUME (Zn-55AI), and Aluminizing (AI-8Si) baths and lab-scale static baths were conducted. In on-line tests in industrial hot-dip baths, 316L steel shows better corrosion resistance than Fe3AI in Galvanizing, GALFAN, and GALVALUME baths. The corrosion resistance o...

In this paper, a new kind of carbon steel (CS) and stainless steel (SS) galvanic sensor system was developed for the study of rebar corrosion in different pore solution conditions. Through the special design of the CS and SS electronic coupons, the electronic resistance (ER) method and zero resistance ammeter (ZRA) technique were used simultaneously for the measurement of both the galvanic curr...
