In 1950s, as an important measure to improve the corrosion resistance of base metal, internal coating pipes was first applied to sour crude oil and natural gas pipelines [1]. Among the coating systems, FBE coating has good impact resistance, bending resistance, high bonding strength, good resistance for acid, alkali, salt, oil and water fluid. The coating can reduce the internal surface roughness friction resistance of piping & pipeline to reduce project investment.

In Oil & Gas industries, Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steels and Ni-Cr-Mo alloys with Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) lower than 40 could be selected for Rigid Production subsea risers, pipeline, and associated structure’s piping, according to a CO2/H2S corrosion assessment that considers all steady and transient conditions foreseen to operate the reservoir.

However, there are frequently some localized corrosion concerns for these materials during the installation and pre-commissioning of the line, when the internal surface of the line could be in contact temporarily with untreated seawater. These concerns systematically lead to discard the selection of these materials and to select, for conservative purpose, UNS N06625 that is admitted immune to localized corrosion in ambient seawater in international standard and operator’s specification, whatever the outcomes of the CO2/H2 corrosion assessment.

Corrosion Resistance Study of Additively Manufactured Stainless Steel in Physiological Solution

Product Number: 51324-20771-SG

The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion resistance performance and requirements of AM biomedical implants as well as to characterize the corrosion behavior of Additive Manufactured 316L stainless steel in simulated physiological environment. The corrosion performance and mechanical properties of additively manufactured 316L stainless steel material in simulated physiological environment was studied. In the efforts of improving the reliability of Additive Manufactured biomedical devices, this research focuses on studying the corrosion, microstructural and mechanical properties of Additive Manufactured 316L stainless steel. It evaluates corrosion resistance through characterizing the corrosion behavior using cyclic anodic polarization tests in simulated physiological environment. In this experiment, the properties of 316L stainless steel parts manufactured using Selective Laser Melting SLM technique have been studied. Cyclic potentiodynamic polarization test indicated that additive manufactured materials had slightly lower corrosion resistance than the casted stainless steel parts of the same grade. This was evident by the difficulty of regenerating a stable and protective passive oxide layer at room temperature as well as the instability of passivation at higher temperatures. Moreover, the additive manufactured samples showed a higher yield strength than the casted samples but lower values for elongation and ultimate tensile stress.

Nga Awa Purua geothermal power station (NAP) operates a conventional direct contact condenser with recirculating cooling water and forced air cooling towers. The power station is located at the Rotokawa Geothermal field, near Taupō in the North Island of New Zealand. The field supports two power stations: NAP, which was commissioned in 2010 with an installed capacity of 140 MW; and Rotokawa I, a binary power plant which has been in operation since 1997.

Structural engineering analysis is an important part of condition assessment of aging concrete structures. Structural engineers involved in condition assessment, maintaining, and repairing concrete structures need to be informed of the principles and practice of corrosion risks facing aging concrete structures. The approach towards this issue, from a corrosion engineer’s standpoint, is to do an inspection/condition assessment before making any form of judgements or recommendations.

Pipelines have been the main transportation pattern of oil and gas because of their safety and economy, which are considered as the lifeline of offshore oil and gas transportation. With the booming development of offshore oil industry, the frequency of pipeline leakage is also increasing. Corrosion is one of the important factors due to some characteristics such as operating environment, service life and transportation medium, etc., which damages the integrity of the pipeline and damage the normal operation of pipelines. Furthermore, leakage accidents caused by pipeline corrosion have occurred all over the world, accounting for 70~90% of total accidents, which has caused huge economy losses and catastrophic environmental damage.

Corrosion Scale And Moisture Assessments – An Improvement To On-Stream Inspections For CUI Management

CUI (Corrosion under insulation) is among the key damage mechanisms in the process and hydrocarbon industries which results in the localized corrosion (mainly) thereby reducing the service life of the assets (pipes, equipment, etc.) CUI is reportedly known as the reason behind 40-60% of failures in the facility piping whereas small bore piping (i.e., NPS< 4”) are even more sensitive to CUI failures, where up to 81% of reported failures in small-sized piping are known to be from CUI. Monetary spending to inspect and fix CUI-related failures cost 10% of overall maintenance budget in a typical medium-sized oil refinery. CUI risk is influenced by numerous operational and environmental factors which impedes its management in a typical AIM (Asset integrity management) program.

Corrosion Severity Comparison Of Three Beach Sites

The corrosion severity of an environment is important for both design and maintenance of infrastructure especially in marine and costal environments. Corrosion can vary drastically depending on conditions such as temperature, humidity, salt loading, and rain events.1 The interplay between these variables is quite complex so a variety of indirect techniques for quantifying corrosion severity are typically used. One common method is the determination of corrosion rate by measuring the mass loss of steel coupons exposed in the field. Measuring the change in mass of the steel coupon as a result of the corrosion product being removed from the substrate can provide the rate of corrosion after a specific exposure time in the field.

Molten chloride salts are one of the leading candidates for heat transfer fluids and thermal energy storage for generation IV Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs). These chloride salts demonstrate many favorable properties such as low melting temperatures, high boiling points, high heat capacity, and low vapor pressure at higher temperatures. Ternary chlorides such as NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 used in this study are particularly attractive due to their lower melting points and high decomposition temperatures.

Molten salts are being considered for use in a new generation of nuclear reactors. Therefore, any materials selection process necessarily involves corrosion studies to understand the compatibility between the salts of interest and the materials of construction. This project investigated the corrosion behavior of novel Ni-base superalloys in molten chloride salt mixtures at 750°C for 200 hours in an inert atmosphere. Alloy response to the molten salt was examined through mass loss per unit area, analysis of surface phases and microstructural examination of the alloy cross-section along with elemental analysis. The role of critical alloying elements in alloy corrosion behavior was related to the material response to the molten salt. Alloy 6, an aluminum-containing alloy was the most corrosion resistant while Alloy 7, containing titanium additions, also did well. In the absence of these critical alloying elements, Alloy 4, proved to be the least corrosion resistant.

Biofuels are renewable energy resources to replace fossil fuels since the latter are depleting and their application lead to serious environmental impacts.¹ Fast pyrolysis is an industrial approach to convert a larger amount of raw biomass into bio-oils in a timely fashion. However, their poor qualities, such as low thermal stability, high water and acid contents, and low heating value, make them not ready f to be as transportation fuels directly.^2,3 Moreover, their high water content and acidity can introduce corrosion concern during handling, storage , transportation and upgrading.⁴
