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...

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...

A cyclic wet/dry accelerated corrosion test was used to compare the corrosion behavior of medium-Mn steel and Q345 steel. In terms of scanning electron microscope (SEM), using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and analysis of the corrosion process, the results showed that the medium-Mn steel did not exhibit higher corrosion res...

The corrosion of reinforcements induced by chloride has resulted to be one of the most frequent causes of their premature damage. Most corrosion sensors were designed to monitor corrosion state in concrete, such as Anode-Ladder-System and Corrowatch System, which are widely used to monitor chloride ingress in marine concrete. However, the monitoring principle of these corrosion sensors is based...

Introduction Reliable estimates indicate that corrosion of metals costs the US economy almost $300 billion per year or about 4% of the GNP. Corrosion is a pervasive problem that affects almost all sectors of the economy including transportation (bridges, automobiles, aircraft, ships, pipelines, etc.), energy (power plants, petrochemical industries etc.) and defense (naval applications, aging ai...

E M A I L : a m p t i a c @ i i t r i . o rg Introduction The Air Force Corrosion Prevention and Control Office, located at Robins AFB, GA, and operated by the Air Force Research Laboratories’ Materials Directorate recently achieved a major milestone in demonstrating an aircraft corrosion prediction program. The AF Corrosion Prevention and Control Office accomplishes its mission by ensuring Air...

A Blast furnace is an investment in the future. It is necessary that there is the proper dimensioning of all the equipment, systems and components as well as incorporation of technologies which assure the desired production and quality so that improved performance of the blast furnace can be achieved. Gas is one of the major resources of nature. Gas distribution across any part is processed by ...

Technological development after the industrial revolution has improved quality of human life, but global energy consumption continues to increase due population growth and fossil fuels. Therefore, numerous studies have been conducted develop sustainable long-term renewable alternative sources. The anodic electrode, which is one two-electrode system components, an essential element for effective...

This study presents and implements a corrosion-monitoring wireless sensor platform, EPS (Events as Power Source), which monitors the corrosion events in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, while being powered by the micro-energy released from the corrosion process. In EPS, the proposed corrosion-sensing device serves both as the signal source for identifying corrosion and as the power source f...
