Corrosion Tests of Electro-polished Steels by Spectrophotometry

Improvement of Corrosion Resistance of Steels by Surface Modification

The corrosion of metals is a destructive process regarding to the basic modern constructional material with a great importance for the nowadays industry and in many cases represents an enormous economic loss. Therefore, it is not a surprise that the research on the corrosion and corrosion protection of metallic materials is developed on a large scale in different directions and a wide range of ...

Assessment of Stress Corrosion Cracking on Pipeline Steels Weldments Used in the Petroleum Industry by Slow Strain Rate Tests

A Corrosion Study of Grain-Refined 304L Stainless Steels Produced by the Martensitic Process

AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensitic process. Corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5M HCl solution using open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. Also, the correlation between the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was as...

Estimation of Atmospheric Corrosion of High-Strength, Low-Alloy Steels

This data analysis was undertaken to investigate the weatherability of steels whose compositions do not fall in the range of ASTM Standard G101, Estimating the Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance of Low-Alloy Steels (1). This standard was developed to estimate the corrosion resistance of low-alloy weathering steels from chemical composition data and from actual atmospheric exposure tests. This sta...

Predicted Fracture Behavior of Shaft Steels with Improved Corrosion Resistance

One of the crucial steps in the shaft design process is the optimal selection of the material. Two types of shaft steels with improved corrosion resistances, 1.4305 and 1.7225, were investigated experimentally and numerically in this paper in order to determine some of the material characteristics important for material selection in the engineering design process. Ultimate tensile strength and ...
