Organic coatings are the most used method of corrosion prevention and protection of metallic substrates
in many industries. Owners in both the public and private sectors will invest significant resources into
testing coating options to provide the best protection for new and existing products or infrastructure.
Often, this testing defaults to some variation of accelerated salt spray testing or outdoor marine exposure
with results being based on aspects such as visual measurements of rust through, corrosion
creepage/undercutting, and blistering.

A visual inspection of a subsea field development, transporting wet gas, containing approximately 1.5 to 2 mol% of CO2 to shore, was conducted via ROV (remotely operated vehicle). The pipeline system is largely carbon steel with only short lengths of CRA (corrosion resistant alloy) piping from the wellhead to the production/pigging manifold. Downstream of the pigging manifold the system has 20” carbon steel spools leading to the FTA (flowline termination assembly) and then 20” carbon steel flowlines to the riser platform.

There are more than 47,000 publicly-owned roadway bridges in Canada.¹ Over 25% of these bridges have main structural load bearing components made of structural steel (i.e., truss and steel girder bridges) based on data from the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario – MTO.² According to Statistics Canada, the condition of approximately 40% of these bridges is rated as either very poor (unfit for sustained service), poor (increasing potential of affecting service), or fair (requires attention).³ It was reported by Koch et al.⁴ that corrosion is one of the main reasons that lead to structural deficiency of steel components of highway bridges. Especially in marine environments, steel bridges are at risk of high rates of corrosion, particularly beyond 15-20 years in service.⁵ This observation can be expanded to locations where the use of de-icing salt is common practice such as urban areas in North America. In addition, future climatic changes that are evident (i.e., change in temperature and relative humidity) may potentially affect the rate of corrosion-induced deterioration and affect the resistance of bridges against various load types throughout their life-cycle.

Managing external corrosion, especially for underground assets, is a significant challenge dating back to the first underground pipeline in 1865. The very first issue of the journal, CORROSION, featured a headline story on this subject. This subject is fundamental for corrosion engineers and pipeline operators.

Predictive Coating Condition Model For Coating Lifetime Under Environmental Stressors

The corrosion of aircraft costs the U.S. Department of Defense billions of dollars annually and accounts for a significant portion of maintenance time and costs.1 Coatings are the most effective way to protect aircraft, but they have a finite lifetime and must be maintained or replaced before the underlying substrate is damaged by corrosion. Current aircraft maintenance practices call for coating inspections and maintenance based on elapsed time and not on measurements of coating health. Coating lifetime varies depending on the environmental stressors experienced in service, including temperature, humidity, and salt loading.

Preliminary Investigation on Ultrasonic Spot Welding of Aluminum Alloys

Product Number: MPWT19-15298

Author: Mohamed Wahba, Miloud Souiyah

Publication Date: 2019

High-powered ultrasonic spot welding of metals is receiving growing interest as a prominent candidate to replace resistance spot welding, particularly of aluminum alloys, due to features such as solid-state welding, low energy consumption, short welding time, and long tool life. In this method, high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations are applied to overlapping components held under normal static force. A relative motion of very short amplitude is generated between the two surfaces, which breaks the oxide films and brings fresh metal surfaces into contact, whereupon a metallurgical bond is developed. The current study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of ultrasonic spot welding of AA6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Tensile lap shear tests were performed to evaluate the strength of joints produced with different welding parameters. Furthermore, the influence of weld energy on joint attributes was characterized through microstructure examination and micro-hardness measurement. It was possible to optimize the welding parameters to obtain joints of high strength. The results revealed that the higher the weld energy, on the one hand, promoted joint strength and on the other hand, expanded the softening area in the welded components.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s) approach to preparing to regulate and review industry proposals for using advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) in commercial nuclear applications focuses on identifying differences with AMT relative to conventional manufacturing. Initial AMTs based on industry interest include laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and laser-directed energy deposition (L-DED) additive manufacturing (AM) methods, powder metallurgy-hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP), electron beam welding (EBW), and cold spray (CS).

Sustainability of civil infrastructure construction can in part be attained by better testing to identify important material characteristics that affect durability. The quality of the concrete in reinforced concrete structures is a primary factor that enhances corrosion durability of reinforced concrete structures. The concrete may be assessed for quality control using methods such as bulk ion diffusivity tests, accelerated electrical migration tests, and electrical resistivity. There is interest in non-destructive in-situ testing for assessment of structures in service. In this study, preliminary tests were conducted to characterize the durability of concrete using a water permeation test, acoustic testing, as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Test results showed that the electrical properties of the hardened concrete can be assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy where a high frequency impedance loop (relating to the bulk material and internal moisture content) can be discerned. The concretes with lower water-to-cement ratio and larger coarse aggregates showed larger resonant frequency values that can be attributed to greater developed stiffness. A water permeation test was also demonstrated to differentiate internal moisture conditions, and its results (described by a decay factor derived from mass and energy balance) was well correlated to its concrete electrical parameters.

Biocides are used in hydraulic fracturing operations to control the growth of contaminant microorganisms that lead to corrosion, souring, and conductivity loss.1,2 A variety of biocides are utilized and can be classified by mechanism of action, speed of kill, and the length of residual activity.
In general, rapid-acting biocides such as chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and DBNPA (2,2-dibromo-3- nitrilopropionamide) inactivate bacteria quickly but have little to no residual activity. Glutaraldehyde (Glut) reacts more slowly and provides some residual activity, particularly at lower wellbore or reservoir temperatures.
