Additive manufacturing (AM) is a transformative technology that has opened areas of design space that were previously inaccessible by enabling the production of complex, three-dimensional parts and intricate geometries that were impractical to produce via traditional manufacturing methods. However, the extreme thermo-mechanical conditions in the AM build process (e.g., cooling rates ranging from 103 K/s
to 106 K/s and repeated heating/cooling cycles) generate deleterious microstructures with high residual stresses, and extreme compositional gradients.

Developing Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors for Aluminum Alloys in Ethylene Glycol Coolant Solutions

Product Number: 51324-20382-SG

Author: Behzad Bavarian; Lisa Reiner

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Different vapor phase corrosion inhibitors were evaluated to determine their corrosion inhibition for aluminum alloys in Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) coolant mixture. When the temperature exceeds 80°C, ethylene glycol can decompose into organic acids. The resulting acidic environments cause severe localized corrosion of aluminum alloys. The corrosion behavior was studied at multiple temperatures in different corrosion inhibitors using different concentrations. Corrosion inhibitor VCI-A, VCI-B, VCI-C, and VCI-D at 2.5-3.0% dosage showed excellent corrosion protection. VCI-A, VCI-C and VCI-D maintained a steady, low corrosion rate during long term exposure by neutralizing pH and forming a hydrophobic film. They increase the polarization resistance by a significant factor, therefore, lowered corrosion rate. VCI-B inhibitor, also showed the ability to reduce the corrosion rate of aluminum in ethylene glycol solutions. However, due to its high pH chemistry, the effective dosage should be maintained at <2.5% to avoid any potential increase in pH that can promote localized corrosion or under-deposit corrosion attacks of aluminum alloys. The results of this investigation demonstrated that these inhibitors can lower the corrosion rate in water-ethylene glycol solutions by neutralizing pH and forming stable films.

Development of Self-healing Coatings by Linseed Oil Encapsulation

Product Number: 51218-169-SG

Author: Haoran Wang, Qixin Zhou

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Self-healing coatings have been promising due to their automatic recovering functions, which can extend the coating lifetime with lower maintenance costs. One of the most effective strategies to achieve self-healing property is to encapsulate healing agents inside microcapsules and integrate the microcapsules into the coating matrix.

Development And Application Of A Thermochemical Database (MSTDB-TC) To Modeling Corrosion In Molten Salt Reactors

Product Number: ED22-17137-SG

Accurate representations of the thermochemistry and phase equilibria of relevant molten salt constituents and their aggregate behavior are critical to the development, design, operation, and licensing of any molten salt reactor (MSR). This need is currently being addressed by the creation of a dedicated, high quality/validated MSR thermochemical database, the Molten Salt Thermal Properties Database-Thermochemical (MSTDB-TC). MSTDB-TC is being populated with prioritized models and values for vapor species, and liquid and crystalline phases of chloride and fluoride fuel and coolant salts with relevant fission product and transuranic elements, and more recently with corrosion-relevant systems with chromium, iron, and nickel. Multi-cation crystalline and melt solution models are being incorporated, including newly developed relations as necessary, to obtain real system behavior.

Development and Field Application of a New Bacteria Monitoring Technique

Product Number: 51319-13158-SG

Author: Alyn Jenkins

Publication Date: 2019

Accurate bacteria population monitoring is important in oil and gas fields to mitigate microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) prevent reservoir souring and optimize biocide treatment strategies. Serum serial dilution testing (SSDT) is a flawed yet widely accepted traditional method for bacteria testing in the oil and gas industry. The serum bottle test is cumbersome to perform correctly in the best of conditions and impractical to use in most if not all oil and gas field applications. The SSDT culture method returns an indirect estimate of bacteria populations that are often misleading and inaccurate due to basic assumption of the test and users attempts to stream line the method.It is important for operators to understand the drawbacks of the SSDT method and be aware that alternative accurate field ready techniques for bacteria population measurements are available. This paper reports the work performed to a develop a new method to detect bacteria in oil and gas fields that is used to select test and apply fit for purpose bacteria control chemicals.The new methodology has many advantages over other commonly used methods such as the SSDT and ATP tests. The new technique provides a rapid bacteria measurement that can be performed wholly at the well site with real time results. The method gives highly accurate data simple to use and is compatible with oilfield production chemicals fluid chemistries and system microbiology. The approach uses a bacteria metabolism based assay technique that utilizes fluorescence spectroscopy to obtain a fluorescence value that is proportional to the total number of living bacteria present in a sample. However the new method is unique in that the user converts the fluorescence value into meaningful data such as colony forming units per mL or even number of equivalent bug bottle turns. The conversion is based on the results of thousands of experiments comparing the fluorescence value with accurate laboratory bacteria measurements (e.g. plate counts and nucleic acid base testing) performed on field waters from a wide variety of sources.The new technique has been used in many oilfields throughout the world and several case histories are presented where the technique has been used to successfully optimize biocide treatments. This new approach to bacteria monitoring is unique and allows immediate real-time post treatment testing to ensure biocide applications are effective.

Development and Implementation of a Novel Method to Remove Inorganic Zinc Coating from Low Alloy Steel

Product Number: 41215-913-SG

Author: Barry Messer, Yasir Idlibi, Sergio Vitomir

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Inorganic zinc (IOZ) silicate coating was previously applied to partially fabricated low alloy, 21/4 Cr-1MoV, high temperature, hydrogen, reactor vessels for long-term storage corrosion protection prior to final welding and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) at 690-720°C (1274-1328°F). The need for complete coating removal to mitigate the known embrittlement and weld cracking that can occur after welding and PWHT led to the development of a novel, environmentally friendly method to remove IOZ to trace levels below 1 ppm.

Development and Implementation of High-Pressure Large-Diameter RTR Pipe Systems for Oil and Gas Transmission Pipelines

Product Number: MECC23-20061-SG

Author: Alwin Fahrer; Lamont Inglehart

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

To maintain production levels, oil fields in the Middle East increasingly require water injection to maintain pressure in hydrocarbon reservoirs. The injected water increases the water cut of the produced fluids, resulting in a very corrosive mixture for metallic piping. Therefore, nonmetallic pipe systems have become more widely accepted as alternative pipe materials for transporting produced fluids and injection water.

The work here is the culmination of many years of prior effort in the development of an atmospheric corrosion model and accompanying sensors. Atmospheric corrosion is a complicated process where many factors interact to determine if it occurs and its severity. These factors can be separated into
three general categories: environmental, surface salts, and materials.
