For liquid breeder blanket system using molten salts, tritium barrier, anti-corrosion barrier, tritium recovery system and heat exchanger make important roles. Especially in the heat exchanger, the tritium permeation from primary coolant loop to secondary coolant loop must be inhibited by the tritium barrier for safety. To develop it, it is essential to optimize chemical stability of the barrie...

The corrosion behavior of both tin-plated carbon steel and aluminum (Al 1100) in NaCl solutions were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The study objectives were to compare their corrosion behavior in concentrated brine solution, establish the equivalent electrical circuit diagrams of their corrosion phenomena, and consequently develop steady-state corrosion models for ...

Corrosion is the process of degradation or failure of a material resulting from a chemical reaction between the material and its surrounding environment. It is an indispensible research area in material science and engineering, because corrosion resistance characterizes the stability or durability of a material, which is one of the most important material performances in application. Compared w...

Siderite (FeCO3) and cementite (Fe3C) layers develop naturally on carbon steel surfaces in aqueous dioxide (CO2) environments. This study evaluates galvanic corrosion induced by such when coupled to bare steel. In CO2-saturated, 50 °C, pH 5 conditions, the Fe3C-filmed acted as net cathode, significantly enhancing rates. Galvanic currents FeCO3-filmed were much lower, with FeCO3 removed from sur...

Using a three-phase batch reactor with coated steel panels, this investigation studies the influence of carbon dioxide (CO2), present in gas phase at conditions high pressure and temperature (HPHT), on degradation an amine-cured epoxy novolac (EN) coating. The combined effect gas, hydrocarbon, seawater compromises coating leads to underfilm corrosion. Consequently, understanding role each phase...

Recent advances in characterization tools, computational capabilities, and theories have created opportunities for advancement in understanding of solid-fluid interfaces at the nanoscale in corroding metallic systems. The Faraday Discussion on Corrosion Chemistry in 2015 highlighted some of the current needs, gaps and opportunities in corrosion science. Themes were organized into several hierar...

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 ...
