Roughness, Residual Stresses and Pitting Corrosion Effect on Shot

Original scientific paper The paper deals with the effect of roughness, residual stresses and pitting corrosion on different shot peened (SP) ENAW 7075 aluminium alloy in different states. Suitable residual stress profile increases the applicability and life cycle of mechanical parts, treated by shot peening. Pitting corrosion has a major influence on aging of structural elements made of high s...

Numerical Simulation of Material Strength Deterioration due to Pitting Corrosion

Pitting corrosion is an insidious form of localized corrosion a ecting characteristics of various engineering metallic alloys. Currently very limited literature exists with regard to systematic characterization of pitted surfaces or the efficient use of numerical methods to assess its effect, i.e. fatigue life reduction caused by the state of a corroded specimen and particularly through the stu...

Intergranular pitting corrosion of CoCrMo biomedical implant alloy.

CoCrMo samples of varying microstructure and carbon content were electrochemically corroded in vitro and examined by scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction techniques. The rate of corrosion was minimized (80% reduction from icorr = 1396 nA/cm(2) to icorr = 276 nA/cm(2) ) in high-carbon CoCrMo alloys which displayed a coarser grain structure and partially dissolved sec...

Probabilistic Pitting Corrosion Risk Assessment of Welded Offshore Steel Pipelines

Steel structures continuously exposed to offshore marine environments are prone to corrosion. This can be of major economic and perhaps of environmental significance. The risk of these scenarios occurring can be assessed using good quality data, good quality corrosion and pitting models and structural reliability assessment. Recently, improved models for the prediction of longer term corrosion ...
