certain gases, principally oxygen,o , and carbon dioxide, co , dissolved in water accelerate its corrosive properties. the rate of corrosion is approximately in prportion to the quantity of gas dissolved. the removal of gases from water, as practiced in steam station, is effected by mechanical and thermal treatment , by addition of chemicals, or by combinations of these processes, the most wide...

The understanding of corrosion behavior in NiTi is critical for the devices using this shape-memory alloy. In order to improve the surface properties of NiTi such as corrosion resistance, plasma source ion implantation (PSII) technique was employed with oxygen as incident ions at three levels of implantation dose (5x10(16), 1x10(17) and 3x10(17) ions/cm(-2)). Pitting corrosion and wear-corrosio...

This Module consists of ten Web pages of required reading. The pagination is visible at the bottom of each page with direct links to adjacent pages. Introduction Thermodynamic principles can help explain a corrosion situation in terms of the stability of chemical species and reactions associated with corrosion processes. However, these principles cannot be used to predict corrosion currents or ...

The economic development of any region, state or country, depends not only on its natural re‐ sources and productive activities, but also on the infrastructure that account for the exploita‐ tion, processing and marketing of goods. Irrigation systems, roads, bridges, airports, maritime, land and air transport, school buildings, offices and housing, industrial installations are affect‐ ed by cor...

Corrosion is one of the major reasons for wear and tear of equipments. It is also responsible for reducing the life of equipments. Many accidents occur because of failure of pipelines due to corrosion. There are many methods to minimize corrosion. Cathodic protection, use of inhibitors, use of anticorrosive coatings is few methods used for this purpose. The presence of moisture in the atmospher...

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...
