A corrosive environment leaves in-service conductive structures prone to subsurface corrosion which poses a severe threat to the structural integrity. It is indispensable to detect and quantitatively evaluate subsurface corrosion via non-destructive evaluation techniques. Although the gradient-field pulsed eddy current technique (GPEC) has been found to be superior in the evaluation of corrosio...

Corrosion protection of metals and alloys is a prime activity of technical, economic, environmental, and aesthetical significance. The use of inhibitors is one of the best choice of combating metals and alloys against detoriation against environmental impact. The toxicity of organic and inorganic corrosion inhibitors to the environment has provoked the search for ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor...

Corrosion is a deterioration of a metal due to reaction with environment. The use of corrosion inhibitors is one of the most effective ways of protecting metal surfaces against corrosion. Their effectiveness is related to the chemical composition, their molecular structures and affinities for adsorption on the metal surface. This review focuses on the potential of ionic liquid, polyionic liquid...

An effective way of assessing corrosion in pipelines before serious consequences occur is to use tools that can predict the future of a pipeline through an understanding of its present state and the mechanisms of corrosion. In this work electrochemical methods such as liner and tafel polarization resistance were used to evaluate corrosion. Most metal corrosion occurs via electrochemical reactio...

The modes of erosion-corrosion are diverse and may vary from being "erosiondominated", where erosion of metal is the dominant process, to "corrosion-dominated", where erosion of oxide scale is the dominant process. The intermediate situation in which erosion of transient oxide is the predominant process is termed "erosion-corrosion-dominated" and describes the regime in which continual formatio...

9 In some sour reservoirs and tertiary oil recovery blocks, SO42in solution can cause the corrosion 10 and corrosion fatigue of the sucker rods. In this paper, the corrosion behaviors of super-strength 11 sucker rod FG20 (16Mn2SiCrMoVTiA) steel in the well fluid are investigated by electrochemical 12 measurements, and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) analysis. The results show that FG20 ste...

In this work, we performed comparative studies of the effect of surface preparation of Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al7Nb biomedical alloys and the influence of endothelial cells on their corrosion behaviour in PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline). Two different methods of surface modification were applied - polishing and sandblasting. The polished Ti6Al7Nb alloy was found to have the best resistance against gene...

Corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has been one of the major causes of structural failure. Early detection of the corrosion process could help limit the location and the extent of necessary repairs or replacement, as well as reduce the cost associated with rehabilitation work. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods have been found to be useful for in-situ evaluation of steel corros...

In this paper a two-dimensional (2-D) stochastic localized CO2 corrosion model is proposed, which describes the balance of two processes: corrosion (leading to metal loss) and precipitation (leading to metal protection). The model is able to predict localized corrosion of carbon steel in CO2 containing environments. The model uses corrosion rate and surface-scaling tendency predicted by a 1-D m...
