Recent Developments in the Worldwide Use - Performance of Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) Rebar

Product Number: 51324-20825-SG

Author: John Krzywicki

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This presentation and accompanying research summary demonstrate hot-dip galvanized (HDG) rebar’s performance protecting reinforced concrete structures and highlight technical research confirming its chloride durability in concrete via a study conducted by the Galvanizers Association of Australia (GAA). The resulting study also produced a model for determining chloride penetration in concrete and concludes that reduced concrete cover can be considered in structures that use HDG rebar, which has a substantial impact on sustainability (raw material usage and length of service). Along with this new research on chloride durability modeling, a review of recent case studies, inspections and installations confirms its longevity and growing popularity amongst specifiers to provide long term corrosion resistance in concrete.

Recent Failures Of Accelerated High Temperature Sulfidation Corrosion In The Oil Refining Industry

Product Number: 51321-16738-SG

High temperature sulfidation is one of the oldest damage mechanisms in the refining process such as crude distillation unit, vacuum distillation unit and hydroprocessing unit. Since corrosion proceeds to general corrosion and occurs in a high temperature environment, it is a type of corrosion that can lead to a large fire explosion when a leak occurs.

Recent Progress in Corrosion Protection of Braking Systems

Product Number: 51324-20676-SG

The manuscript proposes an advanced study of the corrosion resistance of anodic layers obtained by anodizing different Aluminum/Silicon (AlSi) alloys, typically used in the manufacturing of braking systems. Metallography, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) measurements and electrochemical noise (EN) -based methods allow to depict the complex interplay between the microstructure of each investigated alloy and their corrosion resistance after anodizing. It is demonstrated that a high Silicon concentration in pristine alloys can: a) modulate the impedance of the obtained anodic layers; and b) generate local thickness variations of the coatings with an associated reduction of the corrosion resistance. In addition, electrochemical noise measurements (ENM) demonstrate that the corrosion resistance and anodizability of the proposed materials follow the order EN AW-6082 > EN AC-42200 > EN AC-43200.

Recent Surface Preparation Challenges and Solutions

Product Number: 51324-20586-SG

Author: Ken Rossy, Thomas Crenshaw

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

It is commonly known that 75% of coating failures can be attributed to improper surface preparation. This figure shows how challenging it is to get this step right. However, education can improve this number. The best learning comes from studying specific cases which illustrate challenging corrosion protection problems. In this paper, we present several examples of recent projects such as tank linings, tank floating roofs, paper mills, and upstream maintenance projects to show that optimizing surface preparation was a key step in success for the owner and contractor alike. In each of these cases, creative ideas and new technology helped achieve success. We will discuss these projects from the perspective of the coating manufacturer, equipment manufacturer and additional technology used to improve the coatings job.

Red Means Go, Polysiloxane Technology on the Roosevelt Island Bridge

Product Number: 41211-632-SG

Author: Chris McMillan

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Coating technologies for bridges has not changed much since 1977. Available finish coat technologies were limited to alkyd, acrylic, or urethane-based chemistry. Performance of these chemistries has declined over the years due to cost reduction in paint to meet project pricing requirements. Bridge owners and engineers have had a limited selection of high-performance coatings to protect their assets. This is even more important with high profile structures where the finish coat needs to stand the test of time and limited maintenance funding has forced asset owners to extend time in between cosmetic maintenance

Redefining Conventional, with Biobased Alternatives

Product Number: 51324-20797-SG

Author: Luke Stone; Lisa Marston

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Corrosion mitigation is fundamentally a practice of material stewardship, it prolongs service life and safety of both equipment and infrastructure. Conventional corrosion mitigation techniques often diminish these benefits by sourcing and employing harmful chemicals. However, there are alternatives; green chemistries are being utilized in corrosion mitigation techniques, from rust preventatives made with renewable feedstocks and those certified Biobased by the USDA BioPreferred Program, to environmentally friendly disposal pathways. With thoughtful designs, Circular Economy principles can be incorporated into the field of corrosion management. In this paper, a range of corrosion management products, and case histories of their successful adoption will be presented. Some highlights include: The replacement of a solvent-based rust preventative (RP) with a biobased and water-based RP, the use of a canola-oil based rust preventative as a long-term protection solution at a major automotive firm, as well as the use of a biobased vapor-phase corrosion preventative which replaces traditional petroleum-based foam.

Redefining Corrosion Resistance Requirements for Austenitic Stainless Steels used in Drilling Applications – Part 2: CrNi-Stainless Steels

Product Number: 51323-19277-SG

Author: Julia Ditmann, Helmuth Sarmiento Klapper, Thomas Williams, Bernd Holper, Krutibas Panda, Reece Goldsberry, Wendy Martin, Daryl McIntyre, Clara Herrera, Merlin Seifert

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Pitting and environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) are a major concern when austenitic CrMn-stainless steels, which are commonly used for non-magnetic drill collars (NMCD), are exposed to high halide-containing drilling fluids. Even though the fast propagation of environmentally assisted cracks can partially be controlled by the introduction of compressive residual stresses, surface treatments are not intended to address localized corrosion resistance. In fact, it has been demonstrated that CrMn-stainless steels become prone to pitting corrosion when exposed to high Cl- streams at elevated temperature, which ultimately can also lead to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) when sufficient stresses are present.

Author: Sanjay Lodha

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The formation of carbon deposits and fouling of tubes is one of the most common operational issues regarding the operability and lifetime of materials at an industrial scale. Several billion dollars are spent worldwide on annual basis to upgrade/change materials apart from revenue loss on account of production halt and additional costs incurred in maintenances. Particularly, the carbon deposition in the refining process is an evitable and undesired factor.

The importance of models for predicting carbon steel corrosion in the oil and gas production chain is undeniable. However, researchers are aware of the difficulty in extending the application range of existing data, to build a generic model. This is because the chemical and electrochemical reactions that impact the corrosion kinetics are affected by the characteristics of each process, such as: salinity, type of oil, oil/water ratio, pH, presence of organic acids.
