The wind turbine foundation serves as a permanent construction in the harsh marine corrosive environment, its anticorrosion design is essential to the safe use of the wind turbine structure. At present, there is a significant controversy over the local corrosion mechanism (such as pitting corrosion, and crevice corrosion) and its diffusion mechanism in the academic circle. In the paper, the Far...

abstract reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress impair β-cell function and reduce insulin secretion. it has been shown that progesterone and cilostazol possess antioxidant properties. the present study was aimed to investigate in vitro pretreatment effect of progesterone and cilostazol on insulin secretion as well as their protective effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative str...

In this paper, the fractal dimensions are proposed for characterizing the optical fiber corrosion sensors, which is applied to measure the steel corrosion based on Fe-C alloy film. Because corrosion was a complex random phenomenon and the corrosion surface of Fe-C alloy film of the optical fiber corrosion sensor possessed fractal characteristics, the image fractal dimensions is as a quantitativ...

A novel Mannich-modified imidazoline (MMI) as cationic emulsifier was synthesised for corrosion harm reduction, through three steps — acylation, cyclization, and Mannich reaction. The surface activity was characterized by determination of surface tensions and critical micelle concentration (CMC). The corrosion inhibition performance of five types of steels in the simulated corrosion solution in...

Organic corrosion inhibitor is one of lower cost technologies that limit the deterioration of concrete structures. The influence of a newly prepared organic corrosion inhibitor on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in simulated concrete pore solution was investigated by polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and so on. The effect of organic corrosion inhibitors on conc...

One of the most frequently corrosion type is the atmospheric corrosion. Carbon steel behavior at atmospheric corrosion is presented on base of the literature data study. This has been reported to account for more failures in terms of cost and tonnage than any other type. About 80% from all degradations produced by corrosion in the metallic constructions are due to the atmospheric corrosion. The...

This study deals with onshore oilfield drilling fluid system to drill corrosion. Corrosion under static and dynamic conditions of the drilling fluid was evaluated. The effect of temperature and pressure on corrosion was examined. Corrosion was more severely affected by temperature compared to pressure. The combined effect of a deoxidizing agent and an inhibitor was observed to exhibit better pr...

statement of problem: many attempts have been made in order to evaluate the amalgam corrosion behavior as an indicator of biocompatibility. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the initial corrosion of four different brands of dental amalgams. materials and methods: four different types of commercial high copper dental amalgam were studied. a special mold was used and twen...

This paper studied the effects of reinforcement corrosion on bond performance between rebar and concrete. Tests were carried out to evaluate the degradation of bond between reinforcing steel and concrete for different corrosion levels of reinforcing steel. A series of 20 specimens of different concrete strength with various reinforcing steel corrosion levels were designed and manufactured. Each...
