Modified magnetite surface layers on carbon steel in aqueous CO2 environments

Product Number: 51323-19127-SG

Surface layers often form on carbon steel surfaces in carbon dioxide (CO2) saturated environments and under certain conditions can offer corrosion protection to the underlying steel. One such layer, magnetite (Fe3O4) is a semiconductor, having a reported electrical resistivity of the order of 10-2 to 10-1 Ω∙cm and band gap of 0.1 eV. The conductive properties of Fe3O4 are of significant importance when understanding the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel, as Fe3O4 can readily establish a galvanic couple with the steel surface upon which it has formed.

On a global scale there is a tendency to substitute fossil fuels with cleaner and renewable sources of energy. In recent years, hydrogen appears to be a promising alternative to achieve energy transition. In this context, the new infrastructure for the hydrogen transportation and storage should be considered. Exposure of high-strength steels to hydrogen can result in the deterioration of the mechanical properties by the mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement (HE). To prevent this phenomenon, pipeline steels can be modified by various means. One of the possible ways is to change the microstructural features by addition of carbide forming elements such as Mo. This paper aims to investigate the role of different Mo content as well as different heat treatment on susceptibility of two martensitic steels to HE. Hydrogen trapping behavior and permeation were investigated by means of electrochemical permeation test and Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy (TDS). Slow Strain Rate Tests (SSRT) of electrochemically charged steels were performed to elucidate mechanical performance. The carbide distribution and microstructure of the steels were observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). The results implied that change of heat treatment leads to the control of Mo carbides size and dispersion and positively effects on HE susceptibility. Tempered martensitic steels with higher Mo content and modified heat treatment were found to be less susceptible to HE.

Moisture Management In Thermal Insulations For In-Service And Out Of Service Pipelines

Product Number: 51322-17594-SG

Author: Ahmad Raza Khan Rana, Graham Brigham

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Thermally insulated pipelines have wide networks globally that are used to transport various chemicals, hydrocarbons as well as steam. CUI (corrosion under insulation), external SCC (stress corrosion cracking) and corrosion fatigue are some of the prominent damage mechanisms which may occur on the external surface of insulated pipes/ pipelines that in turn jeopardize the long-term integrity and operations. The moisture is undoubtedly the key contributor behind the above said external degradations of metallic surfaces and can come under thermal insulations via seepage and/ or condensation. Various factors that influence the extent of moisture intrusion are the design of insulated system(s), type and age of insulation, operating temperature of pipeline(s) as well as environmental and neighborhood conditions.

Moisture Test methods, Comparisons, Commonalities and Dissimilarities

Product Number: 41215-929-SG

Author: Steven Schroeder

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Moisture testing of concrete substrates has become a common practice in the floor coatings industry. Even though most contractors and field technicians are capable of performing the testing, they don’t really understand what the data they are collecting means, other than the acceptance criteria established by the product manufacturer of the coating or flooring being installed.

Moisture Testing and Inspecting for Concrete Floors to Receive Coatings

Publication Date: 2016

The importance of moisture testing of concrete floors cannot be stressed enough. Moisture is a leading cause of coatings failures on concrete floors. There are many ways moisture can affect floor coatings on concrete. Moisture testing alone is not sufficient enough at detecting all of the potential problems. Inspecting a building prior to performing any tests will provide a much clearer picture of the potential problems moisture in both liquid and vapor form can pose.

Moisture Vapor Emission Rates of Concrete Floors – Can Moisture Meters be used Instead of Calcium Chloride?

Product Number: 41212-666-SG

Author: George Holz, Kevin Brown

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) of concrete floors affects the selection of flooring materials for both new construction and remodel projects. The MVER is determined by exposing a 20” x 20” test area to calcium chloride for 60 to 72 hours.
