This study examines the hot corrosion behaviour of plasma-coated T12 steel for 10 cycles 100 h each in an industrial boiler. The coating contains CNT (carbon nanotubes) reinforced alumina-titania powders. substrates were exposed to boiler at 750 °C. A thermogravimetric examination was conducted evaluate kinetics corrosion. Corroded samples examined with scanning electron microscopy and x-ray di...

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in an aging highway infrastructure is a major problem currently facing the transportation engineering community, in particular bridge engineers. In the United States, maintenance and replacement costs are measured in billions of dollars. Further, the use of deicing salts has resulted in steady deterioration of bridge decks due to corrosion. These concerns ha...

For concrete bridge projects in marine environments, attention must be paid to the reinforcement corrosion problems caused by chloride intrusion. As kinds of functional admixtures, which can reduce the reinforcement corrosion rate, corrosion inhibitors are becoming very popular in China in new bridge projects. Corrosion inhibitors cover both inorganic and organic inhibitors. Nitrite is represen...

The effect of oil soluble commercial corrosion inhibitors (OSCI) on the growth of bacteria and its corrosion inhibition efficiency were investigated. Corrosion inhibition efficiency was studied by rotating cage test and the nature of biodegradation of corrosion inhibitor was also analyzed by using FTIR, NMR and GC-MS. This isolate has the capacity to degrade the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarb...

The corrosion protection factor (c.p.f.) and the corrosion condition (cc.) are simple instruments for the study and evaluation of the contribution and efficiency of several methods of corrosion prevention and control. The application of c.p.f. and cc. to corrosion and prevention in agriculture in The Netherlands is considered in detail. Attention is paid to relations between c.p.f. and c.c., th...
