An effective way of assessing corrosion in pipelines before serious consequences occur is to use tools that can predict the future of a pipeline through an understanding of its present state and the mechanisms of corrosion. In this work electrochemical methods such as liner and tafel polarization resistance were used to evaluate corrosion. Most metal corrosion occurs via electrochemical reactio...

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...

9 In some sour reservoirs and tertiary oil recovery blocks, SO42in solution can cause the corrosion 10 and corrosion fatigue of the sucker rods. In this paper, the corrosion behaviors of super-strength 11 sucker rod FG20 (16Mn2SiCrMoVTiA) steel in the well fluid are investigated by electrochemical 12 measurements, and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) analysis. The results show that FG20 ste...

In this work, we performed comparative studies of the effect of surface preparation of Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al7Nb biomedical alloys and the influence of endothelial cells on their corrosion behaviour in PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline). Two different methods of surface modification were applied - polishing and sandblasting. The polished Ti6Al7Nb alloy was found to have the best resistance against gene...

Corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has been one of the major causes of structural failure. Early detection of the corrosion process could help limit the location and the extent of necessary repairs or replacement, as well as reduce the cost associated with rehabilitation work. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods have been found to be useful for in-situ evaluation of steel corros...

In this paper a two-dimensional (2-D) stochastic localized CO2 corrosion model is proposed, which describes the balance of two processes: corrosion (leading to metal loss) and precipitation (leading to metal protection). The model is able to predict localized corrosion of carbon steel in CO2 containing environments. The model uses corrosion rate and surface-scaling tendency predicted by a 1-D m...

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a layered material with high thermal and chemical stability ideal for ultrathin corrosion resistant coatings. Here, we report the corrosion resistance of Cu with hBN grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal that hBN layers inhibit Cu corrosion and oxygen reduction. We find that CVD grown hBN reduces the Cu corrosion rate b...

In this paper, a novel kind of method to monitor corrosion expansion of steel rebars in steel reinforced concrete structures named fiber optic coil winding method is proposed, discussed and tested. It is based on the fiber optical Brillouin sensing technique. Firstly, a strain calibration experiment is designed and conducted to obtain the strain coefficient of single mode fiber optics. Results ...

An arc-sprayed amorphous Al–Ti–Ni coating on S355 structural steel was processed by laser remelting (LR) at powers of 600, 800, and 1000 W. The surface-cross-sectional morphologies, chemical element distributions, and phase compositions of the as-obtained Al–Ti–Ni coatings were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffractometer (X...

In some cases, a corrosion system may be exposed to radiation field. Most usually, it occurs as a part of atmospheric corrosion, when materials are, besides other factors, exposed also to visible and ultraviolet radiation. Technical significance of corrosion caused by such types of radiation is rather small. On the other hand, metallic materials may be exposed to high energy ionizing radiation ...
