Corrosion of complex electronic equipment is an increasingly serious problem, causing expensive damage. Corrosion occurs through out the entire life cycle during different stages of manufacturing, assembly, transport and storage of components and assemblies and during field operations of the equipment. Presence of moisture, chloride, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and other airborne corrosi...

Three thiosemicarbazides, namely 2-(2-aminophenyl)-N phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (AP4PT), N,2-diphenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (D4PT) and 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-phenyl hydrazinecarbothioamide (HP4PT), were investigated as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in H(2)SO(4) solution using gravimetric and gasometric methods. The results revealed that they all inhibit corrosion and their % inhibition...

In this paper, the corrosion resistance of laser-welded composite arch wire (CoAW) with Cu interlayer between NiTi shape memory alloy and stainless steel wire in artificial saliva with different concentrations of protein was studied. It was found that protein addition had a significant influence on the corrosion behavior of CoAW. Low concentration of protein caused the corrosion resistance of C...

The medical device industry is still seeking answers to the mechanically-assisted corrosion (MAC) problem, which becomes increasingly important due to modularity in design. MAC manifests in various forms, some of which are fretting corrosion, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion. Several studies have been conducted to understand the causes and the factors that affect fretting corrosion. Some ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies regarding modular head-neck taper corrosion were largely based on cobalt chrome (CoCr) alloy femoral heads. Less is known about head-neck taper corrosion with ceramic femoral heads. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked (1) whether ceramic heads resulted in less taper corrosion than CoCr heads; (2) what device and patient factors influence taper fretting corrosion; and (3) w...

tarnish and corrosion behavior of three commercial dental amalgams namely am.1, am.2, am.3, have been investigated by utilizing in vitro tests. the corrosion and/or dissolution rate of the three dental amalgams were studied in 0.9 wt% nacl solution, artificial saliva and ringers solution. potentiodynamic polarization technique was employed to study cathodic and anodic polarization behavior, fro...

causes many failures in chemical process installations. These failures generate high costs, therefore an effective corrosion monitoring system obtrudes. This paper focuses on the classification of the most important corrosion processes: pitting, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and general corrosion. The computations and algorithms involved in the classification of the corrosion time series are ...

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...

A 2-D model for the corrosion of spent nuclear fuel inside a failed nuclear waste container has been modified to determine the influence of various redox processes occurring within fractures in the fuel. The corrosion process is driven by reaction of the fuel with the dominant α radiolysis product, H2O2. A number of reactions are shown to moderate or suppress the corrosion rate, including H2O2 ...

The withdrawal of effective but toxic corrosion inhibitors has provided an impetus for the discovery of new, benign organic compounds to fill that role. Concurrently, developments in the high-throughput synthesis of organic compounds, the establishment of large libraries of available chemicals, accelerated corrosion inhibition testing technologies, and the increased capability of machine learni...
