The life-cycle of concrete structures used in waste water systems should consider all factors that might cause a structural system to perform unacceptably at any point during its lifetime. This includes the progressive and sustained loss of load capacity caused by operational or environmental factors. In general terms, deterioration can be defined as a loss of structural load capacity with time as a result of the action of external agents causing chemical attacks or material weakening due to these environmental interactions.

Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC) is a complex problem facing global concrete sewer structures. Despite the substantial efforts made, MIC of concrete sewers remains a significant challenge. Concrete is susceptible to corrosion induced by microbial species which convert the main binding agent Ca(OH)2 to CaSO4, leading to the disintegration of concrete, loss of strength and structure failure short of its predicted life. Concrete specimens were prepared with corrosion inhibitors and immersed in sodium sulfide and sulfuric acid solutions for more than 400 days. The concrete samples without inhibitor or admixtures showed more than 33% loss of compressive strength, roughly 6.2 mm layer of sulfate attack and concrete disintegration. The concrete samples treated with admixture and surface applied corrosion inhibitors demonstrated no loss of compressive strength and less than 0.12 mm layer of the sulfate-- attack after 400 days immersion in the aggressive solutions. A combination of admixture and highly hydrophobic surface applied corrosion inhibitor is recommended for aggressive waste water systems such as manholes, channels and pipes to assure a satisfactory performance for these concrete structures.

Electrification of road transport requires the development of components with improved performance, especially in terms of corrosion resistance.This is particularly true for safety elements such as the disc-brake system. Indeed, regenerative braking, which is used in electric vehicles, significantly reduces the wear of brake system components thus generating the need of brakes with a service life comparable to the vehicle life.

Carbon steels and low alloy steels are the workhorse of several industries where properties such as strength, fracture toughness and weldability play a key role. In addition to these properties, carbon steels are also the most cost effective materials is several applications. Of particular interest is the API 5L X65 which is widely used in oil and gas exploration, production and transportation service.
