Introduction Into Generic Coatings In The Industrial World

Product Number: 51218-102-SG

Author: Andrew Croll

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

This is a general outline of different types of high-performance coatings used for industrial steel structures and maintenance. We will be discussing the different types of coatings and where and when they are to be used, the make-up of these coatings, application methods, advantages/disadvantages, tolerance, and limitations. I was going to discuss the cost range of each but due to the different performance levels that each brand offers it is hard to put cost in perspective without digging into specific brands of coatings.

$20.00

The use of ceramic fillers in coatings is not new. The technology has been around in excess of 15 plus years, with constant experimentation. The market acceptance of ceramic based coatings has only generally received market acceptance in the past 5 years, as performance history had to be built to back up the manufacturer's claims.

Investigating Alternative Mechanisms For Metal-Silicate Scale Formation: Do Metal Hydroxides Play A Role?

Product Number: 51322-17702-SG

Author: Michaela Kamaratou, Konstantinos D. Demadis

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The polycondensation of silicate to form colloidal silica is a well-known process. Silica formation takes place through an S_N2-like mechanism that involves an attack of a mono-deprotonated silicic acid molecule on a fully protonated one. Thus, monomeric silicate species produce silicate dimers, and oligomers, and eventually form colloidal silica particles. Nevertheless, this straightforward silica chemistry can be profoundly affected by the presence of certain metal cations, such as calcium, magnesium, aluminum, and iron. When such cations are present in a process water they enhance the rate of polymerization of silicate ions and induce the formation of metal silicate precipitates.

Investigating Crack Initiation and Propagation from Hard Spots In TMCP Steels Exposed to Wet Sour Environments

Product Number: MECC23-20109-SG

Author: Maslat Al-Waranbi; Saad M. Al-Muaili; Khalid BaBakri

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Hard spot cracking is a type of sulfide stress cracking (SSC), which is a common type of Hydrogen
Embrittlement (HE). The embrittlement by SSC is attributed to the hydrogen atoms (H+), as corrosion byproduct, that permeate/diffuse through the metal with the presence of H2S. Then, when hydrogen atoms get entrapped at specific microstructural configurations, material ductility will be impaired and material will be embrittled [2].

Investigating Fatigue Crack Growth Rate of Ferritic Steels in High Pressure Hydrogen Gas

Product Number: 51324-20692-SG

Fatigue crack growth rate (FGCR) is essential knowledge for the design of high-pressure hydrogen storage vessels, which are subject to repeated pressurization and depressurization cycles. High strength, low alloy steels are widely used for this application. However, these materials are known to be sensitive to hydrogen assisted cracking, meaning their crack growth rate under repeated cycles of pressurization and depressurization is significantly enhanced due to the interaction of hydrogen gas with the metal, compared to an inert environment. This work reviews existing literature on commonly used low alloy, quenched and tempered (Q&T) steels. Additionally, recently generated data on very high strength low alloy grades, as well as low carbon, low alloy, weldable steels are presented in comparison. These results illustrate common trends and similarities for FCGR in hydrogen gas and discuss differences in alloy design and manufacturing process parameters affecting materials performance in the target environment.

Investigating Irradiation Creep of Zircaloy-4 Using In-Situ Proton Irradiation and Transmission Electron Microscopy

Author: Conor Gillen, Graeme Greaves, Rhys Thomas, Adeel Shaikh, Robert Harrison, Alistair Norris, Alistair Garner, Aidan Cole-Baker

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Zirconium alloys are used in civil nuclear reactors as fuel cladding, due to their relatively low neutron absorption cross section and being ability to maintain integrity during operation in a challenging environment – under elevated temperature, in corrosive water, under stress, and while being bombarded with different types of irradiation. In anisotropic materials, such as the hexagonal close packed Zr crystal structure, irradiation-induced defects diffuse at different rates in different crystallographic directions.

Nowadays, several engineering fields focus their attention on the use of hybrid structures. In particular, the combination of traditional materials like steel or metal alloys together with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials have received growing attention.1 The demand of strong light weight structures is growing stronger, especially in the transportation industry due to the need for a high strength to weight ratio as required for better performance, safety, and environmental concern. This has become an important challenge with the increase in demand due to the requirement for high strength and lightweight materials.

Investigating Oxygen Ingress in the Oil and Gas Industry

Product Number: 51324-20995-SG

Author: Shrirang Deshmukh; Bruce Brown; David Young

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

In this review, events leading to ingress of O2 in various upstream oil and gas systems are investigated. By analyzing reported instances in the literature, factors leading to oxygen infiltration are elucidated. Pipeline maintenance, equipment failures, system design and construction, accidental introductions, chemical injections, and improper protocols are explored and further analyzed to gain a broad understanding of oxygen ingress pathways. The findings of this study raise awareness of O2 as a contributing factor in the corrosion mechanisms involved in these systems, coupled with preservation of asset integrity.
