Author: Guerman Vainblat, Timur Kolchinskiy

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Choosing the right colors for any paint job is very important and can be fun. Remember when you were a child and got a coloring book for your birthday? Imagine if your canvas for coloring wasn’t bound pages, but rather the amazing Brooklyn Bridge. Wouldn’t that be exciting?

The Combined Influences of Microstructure, Strength, and Titanium Content on the Hydrogen Stress Cracking Resistance of Precipitation Hardened Nickel Alloys

Product Number: 51323-19348-SG

Author: Stephen A. McCoy, E. Buddy Damm, Brian A. Baker, William MacDonald

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Precipitation hardenable nickel alloys N09925, N07718, N09945, N09946 and N07725 provide high strength and excellent sour service corrosion resistance for critical downhole oilfield applications. This family of alloys achieves yield strength minimums ranging from 120 to 160 KSI (827-1103 MPa) and can withstand high temperatures and partial pressures of H2S. The primary strengthening mechanism is the formation of γ’ and γ” nanometer sized particles during an age hardening heat treatment.

The Coming of Air Barriers in the National Model Building Codes

Product Number: 41207-391-SG

Author: David Weitz

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

As the building design, construction, and enforcement communities become increasingly aware of the connections between air infiltration, energy efficiency, and general performance, the concept of the “continuous air barrier” is making its way into buildings. One reflection of this is seen in proposals to require air barriers in the national model building energy codes.

The Complex Synergy of Delayed Environmentally Assisted Cracking In Transmission Gear Assemblies

Product Number: 51323-19337-SG

Author: Joshua James

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Root cause analysis involves a detailed process of evidence collection, investigation of the evidence, subsequent analysis, and identification of corrective actions based on conclusions drawn from the evidence. The process when diagrammed out seems simple, however paramount to the process is identifying the problem or failure accurately. Misunderstanding the failure leads to misidentification of the root cause which in turn begets mitigation efforts that may or may not impactfully remediate the original failure.

The Complexities of SSC testing of SMSS From A Steelmaker’s Perspective

Product Number: 51319-12893-SG

Author: Kuangnan Chi

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Norsok M-650 qualification of 13Cr Super Martensitic Stainless Steel (SMSS) requires sulphide stress corrosion cracking (SSC) testing. The present investigation evaluated three casts processed by hot rolling and heat treated to a specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) of 110ksi. Testing was conducted as per NACE TM0177 Method A by two testing laboratories under identical conditions.The influence of microstructural phases specimen preparations and control of test parameters are assessed in relation to SSC performance. Specifically this paper discusses the complexities of SSC testing from a steelmaker’s perspective.

The Complexity And Challenges Of Irradiation-Induced Phase Instability Phenomenon In Nuclear Power Plant Components

Product Number: ED22-17322-SG

Author: D.A. Merezhko, M.N. Gussev, M.S. Merezhko, T.M. Rosseel, F. A. Garner

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Austenitic stainless steels (AuSS) are widely used as structural materials for nuclear reactor vessel internals (RVIs), as well as for fuel cladding and pressurizer components. Some of these components cannot be removed and replaced, and therefore the irradiation performance of the steel determines the lifetime of each reactor component. Typical irradiation-induced detrimental effects in light water-cooled power reactors include embrittlement, accelerated creep, and radiation-altered corrosion. Some second-order effects such as void swelling, hydrogen accumulation, and radiation-induced phase instability might be slowly evolving to first-order importance, especially as Western nuclear power plants are being considered for lifetime extensions to 60 and possibly 80 total years.

The Contractor’s Logistics and Challenges of Painting Commercial Stores During Operation

Product Number: 41211-621-SG

Author: Dennis Kitterman

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

The logistics of painting commercial buildings can be focused into four categories: Pre-inspection of the building, communication, planning, scheduling and implementation. The challenges of painting commercial stores during operation include, but are not limited to, pre-existing building conditions, management cooperation, weather conditions, store schedule, customer accessibility to merchandise, and protecting store merchandise and customer property from overspray or equipment damage.

The Correlation of Appearances of Appearances of Changes and Long term Corrosion Protection for Aromatic Polyurethane Coatings Used on Steel Water Pipes

Product Number: 51220-237-SG

Author: S. G. Croll, C. Gu, V. Upadhyay, B. D. Keil

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Aromatic polyurethane coatings are often used in the protection of steel water pipelines from corrosion. Unfortunately, pipeline sections may be stored above ground for many months before installation so the coatings yellow, lose gloss and can chalk. This deterioration in appearance naturally creates doubt about the corrosion protective qualities of the coatings.

The Corrosion of Electrocoated Steel Studied by a Combination of Accelerated Exposure and Electrochemical Methods

Product Number: 51324-21121-SG

Author: Pedro Atz Dick; Elizabeth Brown-Tseng; Balaji Kannan; Walter Tarr

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Most of the performance assessment in the automotive electrocoat industry relies on continuous salt spray exposure tests or cyclic tests, which typically consist of a combination of salt spray and cycles of humidity and temperature. Because the analysis of the results is usually limited to visual quantification of corrosion, these tests alone offer little information about the mechanisms of coating degradation and their rate of progression. In this work, electrochemical tests were employed in tandem with accelerated exposure tests to better understand the degradation mechanisms of electrocoated steel. Different electrocoats were ranked based on their performance in cyclic cabinet tests, full immersion in NaCl, or by accelerated electrochemical methods. Finally, the trends observed in corrosion behavior were compared, and conclusions were drawn based on the mechanisms captured by electrochemical techniques and their relevance in each testing protocol.

The Corrosion Susceptibility Index- A Physics-Based Indicator of Localized Corrosion and Environmental Assisted Cracking Susceptibility for Alloys

Product Number: 51323-19408-SG

Author: Christopher D Taylor

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

During crack growth and localized corrosion, fresh metal surfaces become exposed to the chemical and electrochemical environment. Subsequent alteration of the material in the nascent pit or at the crack tip zone will be initiated by the surface chemical processes that template the subsequent reactivity. Quantum chemical calculations can provide a physics-based method to simulate the adsorption phenomena that occur in systems possessing multiple chemical species (such as water, chloride, hydrogen-sulfide, inhibitors, etc.), various pH levels, temperatures and electrochemical conditions.
