Steel Pitting Corrosion Analysis, Using a High Vaccum Epoxy Penetration Technique

IMPROVING PITTING CORROSION OF 304 STAINLESS STEEL BY ELECTROPOLISHING TECHNIQUE

Several surface modification techniques such as ion implantation, surface laser melting, have been employed to improve pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Electropolishing is a technique in which the surface roughness is eliminated through a selective electrochemical dissolution. The effect of electropolishing on pitting corrosion of 304 stainless steel (SS) was investigated employ...

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 ...

Pitting Corrosion Monitoring Using Acoustic Emission

Stainless steel pitting and early-stage stress corrosion cracking under ultra-low elastic load

In-Situ Observation and Acoustic Emission Analysis for Corrosion Pitting of MgCl2 Droplet in SUS304 Stainless Steel

Acoustic emission with near-field detection and optical video microscope monitoring was proposed to investigate the pitting corrosion caused by a small magnesium-chloride droplet. Four types of the detected waveforms were characterized by the wavelet analysis to investigate the corrosion of work-hardened SUS304 stainless steel. After high-activity AE signals observed, the corrosion product shee...
