Because of the existence of corrosion media such as chlorine, serious corrosion attacks ships, offshore and marine structure. Scholars worldwide have been long committed to the research of marine corrosion and development of anti-corrosion agents, and have achieved remarkable results. But so far, the conventional ocean coating inevitably makes microholes or microcracks between the additive and ...

A review is provided about the current research on magnesium/magnesium alloys corrosion in the industry. Except for reviewing the kinds of corrosion on galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion, and corrosion fatigue, its corresponding mechanisms are also explained, such as the influence of metallurgical factors, and environmental factors. Furthermore, the protection of magnesium/magnesium alloys co...

Complex numerical models and simulations from the microscale to the macroscale have been developed for the corrosion of aluminium (Al) alloys typically used for aircraft construction, such as AA2024. The main motivation for developing the corrosion models and simulations is to make significant technical advancements in the fields of aircraft design (using current and new materials), surface pro...

The wind turbine foundation serves as a permanent construction in the harsh marine corrosive environment, its anticorrosion design is essential to the safe use of the wind turbine structure. At present, there is a significant controversy over the local corrosion mechanism (such as pitting corrosion, and crevice corrosion) and its diffusion mechanism in the academic circle. In the paper, the Far...

Government retains for itself, and others acting on behalf, a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide license and said article to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies to the public, and perform publicly and display publicly, by or on behalf of the Government. The purposes of this project are to (1) minimize the environmental discharge of hydrocarbons and treatment chemica...

In this paper, the fractal dimensions are proposed for characterizing the optical fiber corrosion sensors, which is applied to measure the steel corrosion based on Fe-C alloy film. Because corrosion was a complex random phenomenon and the corrosion surface of Fe-C alloy film of the optical fiber corrosion sensor possessed fractal characteristics, the image fractal dimensions is as a quantitativ...

A novel Mannich-modified imidazoline (MMI) as cationic emulsifier was synthesised for corrosion harm reduction, through three steps — acylation, cyclization, and Mannich reaction. The surface activity was characterized by determination of surface tensions and critical micelle concentration (CMC). The corrosion inhibition performance of five types of steels in the simulated corrosion solution in...

Organic corrosion inhibitor is one of lower cost technologies that limit the deterioration of concrete structures. The influence of a newly prepared organic corrosion inhibitor on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in simulated concrete pore solution was investigated by polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and so on. The effect of organic corrosion inhibitors on conc...

One of the most frequently corrosion type is the atmospheric corrosion. Carbon steel behavior at atmospheric corrosion is presented on base of the literature data study. This has been reported to account for more failures in terms of cost and tonnage than any other type. About 80% from all degradations produced by corrosion in the metallic constructions are due to the atmospheric corrosion. The...

This study deals with onshore oilfield drilling fluid system to drill corrosion. Corrosion under static and dynamic conditions of the drilling fluid was evaluated. The effect of temperature and pressure on corrosion was examined. Corrosion was more severely affected by temperature compared to pressure. The combined effect of a deoxidizing agent and an inhibitor was observed to exhibit better pr...
