Corrosion of stainless steel water storage tanks exposed in coastal atmospheric conditions

Studies of Carbon Steel Corrosion in Atmospheric Conditions

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...

Corrosion at Sulphide Inclusions in Stainless Steel

Auger analysis was performed using a high resolution scanning auger electron microscope and auger electron spectroscopy. Elemental auger contour maps for corroded sulphide inclusions in stainless steel were presented. It was found that the copper enriched-manganese sulphide inclusions were uniformly corroded, which might be due to CU2S deposition on the surface of corroding inclusions. In contr...

Irradiated Assisted Corrosion of Stainless Steel in Light Water Reactors – Focus on Radiolysis and Corrosion Damage

Corrosion Behavior of Stainless Steel Clad Rebar

Stainless steel clad rebar (SCR) was investigated because it may become a cost-effective means of controlling corrosion in concrete under very aggressive environments. Sound SCR (316L cladding) resisted corrosion in saturated Ca(OH)2 solution (SCS) with up to 5 wt% chloride. Cladding breaks on SCR induced significant corrosion of exposed underlying CS in SCS with only 1 wt% chloride. A computer...

A Study of Caustic Corrosion of Carbon Steel Waste Tanks

Solution chemistry of wastes from US atomic weapons production is controlled to inhibit corrosion of carbon steel tanks used in containment and storage. The pH, nitrate ion and nitrite ion concentrations of fresh solutions are maintained within specified limits for this purpose. In the start up process for a new waste evaporator (RHLWE), non-radioactive solutions of similar chemistry will be ci...
