A Study on Improving Surface Preparation Productivity Using Rectangular Blasting Nozzle

Product Number: 41216-980-SG

Author: ChangHun Lee, ByeongHun Do, WonJun Yun, HanJin Bae

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The purpose of surface preparation is to get a required adhesion between steel and the coated film. Adhesion is a significant factor for the suitability and life of protective coatings in corrosive surroundings. In the shipbuilding industry, air blasting with round blasting nozzles is common practice for achieving the productivity and proper surface profile. Generally, the round blasting nozzle cannot evenly spread the abrasive material on a steel surface compared with a rectangular nozzle.

A Theoretical Investigation On The Role Of Microstructural Particularities On The Hydrogen Embrittlement Of Nickel Alloys

Product Number: 51322-17718-SG

Author: Julia Botinha, Bodo Gehrmann, Helena Alves

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Precipitation hardened (PH) nickel alloys have been broadly used in various applications in the oil and gas industry thanks to its high strengths and outstanding corrosion resistance in several aggressive environments. Alloy 718 (UNS¹ N07718), Alloy 925 (UNS N09925), Alloy K-500 (UNS N05500), Alloy 725 (UNS N07725), and others are among the most used PH nickel alloys in the oil and gas industry. Despite of their known high corrosion properties, hydrogen embrittlement is one common failure reported by the industry for this class of alloys.

Accelerating Construction in Sewer Collection: Madison CMIC Pump Station #1 A Case Study

Product Number: 51219-226-SG

Author: Eric Zimmerman, Jennifer Sloan-Ziegler

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The County of Madison, MS. experienced severe degradation of a major pump station in their system that was less than 10 years old. They contracted with Waggoner Engineering of Jackson, MS. to design a rehabilitation system as well as increase the structural integrity with the addition of some support walls. The project created scheduling issues due to the addition of new concrete structures to the pump station. The use of innovative coatings technologies that offered the ability to apply corrosion resistant linings over green concrete structures, dramatically enhanced the project schedule and reduced overall costs.

Advances In Digital Twin And AI To Predict And Manage External Corrosion - A Smart Tool For Decision Makers

Product Number: 51322-17991-SG

Author: Otavio Correa, Jorge Seleme Mariano

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The Brazilian cost of corrosion was estimated at 3% of the GPD in 2018, that percentage is equivalent to approximately $US 49 billion, according to an ABRACO⁽¹⁾ journal released in 2020.¹ It is estimated that from this cost $US 19 billion could have been saved through anticorrosive actions. In another research conducted by the EPRI⁽²⁾ the results showed that at least 22% of corrosion costs could be avoided through adequate mitigating actions.²

After 30 Years Of Duplex Stainless Steel Experience In Oil & Gas - Do We Still Face Challenges?

Product Number: 51322-17690-SG

Author: Janardhan Rao Saithala, Amjad Kharusi, Mohammed Ghafri, Talal Nabhani Manish Kulkarni, Nasser Behlani,

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

In recent decade, the applications of DSS have significantly increased in oil & gas industry, due to their attractive properties compared to austenitic grades with similar corrosion resistance. The DSS products exhibit a better resistance to pitting, stress corrosion cracking and higher mechanical properties compared to other austenitic stainless steel grades. The microstructure of these materials consists of approximately 50% austenite (γ) and 50% ferrite (α) phases, obtained by means of a solution heat treatment.
