Many parameters influencing corrosion degradation are time variant and the corrosion process is thus subject to temporal variability, the real characteristics of which are commonly neglected in reliability assessment. After a short overview on the quantitative modeling of corrosion loss, a comparison is made between different temporal models of corrosion degradation and the consequences of appl...

An experimental program was conducted to determine the mechanisms by which phosphorus affects the corrosion and passi~ation behavior of F e Cr P alloys, "lb idcnti~ separately the ell~cts of structure and chemistry on the corrosion behavior, thin tilms of Fe--ItK'r-xP 10 < x < 35 at.%) were I~-epared by ion beam mixing. Films with a phosphorus content greater than approximately 20 at.% were fou...

The novel Cr-containing low alloy steels have exhibited good corrosion resistance in CO₂ environment, mainly owing to the formation of Cr-enriched corrosion film. In order to evaluate whether it is applicable to the CO₂ and H₂S coexistence conditions, the corrosion behavior of low-chromium steels in CO₂-H₂S environment with high pressure and high temperature was investigated using weight loss m...

Dental alloys as CoCrMo, SS 316L stainless steel and NiTi were electrochemically investigated in artificial Fusayama saliva, unmodified and modified with two different concentrations of natrium fluoride. Electrochemical tests include measurements of open circuit, measurements of linear polarization, potentiodinamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectra. The best electrochemi...

A model is developed to predict the chemistry, corrosion potential and rate of pipeline steels in a crevice formed when a coating disbonds from a pipe surface. The gap of the coating disbonded region is assumed to vary with distance from the mouth. The effect of this gap variation on the chemistry and corrosion rate in the coating disbonded region is investigated in this study through modeling....

Previous studies showed that temperature and total organic carbon in drinking water would cause chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)) loss in a water distribution system and affect the efficiency of ClO(2) for Legionella control. However, among the various causes of ClO(2) loss in a drinking water distribution system, the loss of disinfectant due to the reaction with corrosion scales has not been studied i...

The compatibility of Reduced Activation Ferritic/Martensitic Steel (RAFM) with liquid Li and molten-salt Flibe have been characterized and accessed. Static compatibility tests were carried out in which the specimens were immersed into liquid Li or Flibe in isothermal autoclaves. Also carried out were compatibility tests in flowing liquid Li by thermal convection loops. In the case of liquid Li,...

The corrosion rate of steel plate using single-factor, multifactor, and complex water systems was investigated via refinery wastewater effluents used as circulating cooling water. The results show that the primary corrosion factors of steel depend on the characteristics of the ions, the formation of the oxidized coating, the diffusion of dissolved oxygen, and other complex factors, although ion...
