During drilling operations, the components in the drill string including the bottom hole assembly (BHA) remains in permanent contact with the drilling fluid. Therefore, besides non-magnetic properties and high strength the corrosion resistance of the materials utilized for the BHA plays a decisive role specially in applications involving harsh environments. In fact, strain-hardened CrMn-austenitic steels commonly used in directional drilling technology show a high susceptibility to pitting corrosion and environmentally assisted cracking in drilling fluids with a high chloride (Cl-) content at elevated temperatures.

Extremely corrosive environments of today’s oil and gas exploration requires more expensive Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) to be used for equipment such as tubulars. Material selection for oil and gas wells, especially those containing high hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) partial pressure, is very crucial. Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide are quite aggressive to the materials used in oil field environments. The material of choice for these oil wells has to be reliable and cost-effective. This makes the material selection process a very complex and difficult task involving both financial and safety risks analysis.

The Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) at Consorzio RFX (Padua, Italy) hosts two experiments: MITICA, the 1 MeV full-scale prototype of the ITER Neutral Beam Injector (NBI), and SPIDER, the low energy 100 keV ITER HNB full-size Ion Source [1]. The exploitation of SPIDER and MITICA is necessary to make the future operation of the ITER NBI efficient and reliable; a fundamental aspect to achieving thermonuclear-relevant plasma parameters in ITER.

Wastewater coming from both municipal and industrial activities present corrosive properties toward metals and can in certain cases exceed the tolerances of the most often used stainless steels such as 304L and 316L, thus resulting in the need of superior alloys. The main factors influencing the corrosiveness of the fluids in wastewater treatment plants are high concentration of halides (more specifically chlorides), H₂S, low pH, temperature and their combined action. Corrosiveness of incoming fluids at a municipal wastewater treatment finds its roots in the municipal collection network.

Investigation on the Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibitors by Contact Angle and Surface Tension

Corrosion is common, costly and a prevalent industrial problem in the oil and gas industry. Corrosion inhibitors, which are surfactant-like molecules, adsorb on the metallic surface of a pipe to form a barrier film that inhibits interactions of the pipe surface with corrosive species. Despite the prominence of surfactants as corrosion inhibitors, their adsorption behavior inside a pipeline is not well understood. In this study, continuous corrosion inhibitors were evaluated to correlate corrosion performance testing with contact angle and surface tension studies. Contact angle method was employed in corrosion inhibition studies for surface characterization. Surface tension method was used to determine critical micelle concentration. Contact angle results showed that for the water-soluble continuous corrosion inhibitors such as quaternary ammonium and imidazoline, a monolayer and bilayer were formed on the metal surface as reflected by an increase and then decrease in contact angle. The bilayer further increased the corrosion inhibition efficiency until the critical micelle concentration (CMC) was reached for quaternary ammonium and imidazoline only. However, the mixed quaternary ammonium and imidazoline in the formulation resulted in the maximum contact angle value being at its CMC indicating a compact monolayer formation. The results can provide a helpful guideline for further studying the synergistic effect of corrosion inhibitor mixtures.

Finance, workforce, and asset integrity are all major factors played in the global transition initiative from the use of the corrodible metallic materials to the long-lasting non-metallic materials such as the composites. The three monolithic materials, in other words, materials made up of a single type of blocks which are the metallic, ceramic, as well as the polymeric materials have been major fields of interest for centuries. However, a more recent field of promising materials has emerged and been recognized, which is the composite materials.

Investigations on Extrusion Conditions and Their Effects on Aesthetics and Long-Term Performance

Product Number: 51324-21091-SG

Publication Date: 2024

Powder coating extrusion requires the engineer’s consideration of the raw material chemistry and how each extruder parameter affects the powder’s behavior during compounding. Prior investigations reviewed how changes in extrusion parameters and conditions can affect the coating’s aesthetics and performance. New details in powder coating extrusion processing conditions and formulation chemistry allow the engineer to achieve specific coating characteristics. This study will be an update on the recent developments of long-term weathering exposure of high-performance powder coating topcoats on metallic substrates. Along with accelerated weathering (ASTM D4587), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed to examine the coating’s appearance and performance. These findings will contribute to refining the industry’s knowledge to distinguish key parameters for outstanding long-term performance for topcoat systems.

All tests in this program have been performed under simulated PWR primary cooling water conditions. The oxide layer development and morphology is addressed in the literature and more intensively being investigated during the last ten years. The oxide layer that is typically observed under these conditions has a double layer structure. The outer layer is composed of large particles of Fe3O4 and the inner layer mainly consists of small particles of FeCr2O4, e.g.

VDM Alloy 699 XA (UNS N06699, EN Alloy number 2.4842) is a new alloy, which was developed for applications in the petrochemical industry under metal dusting conditions between 400°C and 800°C. Important properties of a new material are corrosion resistance, such as to metal dusting, oxidation resistance, and workability versus high temperature strength, which are essential for industrial applications. Currently, there are material solutions which demonstrate good metal dusting resistance, but may have issues with workability. In addition, there are also minimum requirements concerning creep resistance. It is therefore of fundamental interest, in the context of alloy design, to develop materials that has these important properties and satisfies the needs of industrial users.

Many asset owners struggle to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion rates due to unreliable inspection data. Facilities worldwide are tasked with monitoring thousands of Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs) with established NDE techniques such as manual ultrasonic testing and radiography. While these techniques can provide valuable “snapshots” of the condition of particular locations, limitations and inherent errors can compound leading to ill-advised decision making. Manually taken thickness data can vary greatly and result in unwarranted complacency or excessive and costly inspections.

One of the pillars of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is to let machines make decisions on behalf of humans; this paper describes new technology that allows machines to decide inspection programs and field validation and testing of results. The technology described is a part of integrity management, and uses data, statistics and expert decisions to design inspection programs. These inspection programs are an important part of the safeguarding of equipment to maintain production and safety.
This technology is a data-driven predictive model of material loss from corrosion, based on domain expert input and historical data in the form of non-destructive testing (NDT) tests. The technology trends is based on historical data and SME input, while accounting for uncertainties in NDT measurements, with uncertainties in historical trends and uncertainties in future trends. This produces a more realistic failure prediction to enhance existing RBIs and adds safety by improving on early detection of trends in data. In total, this enables the machine to update inspection plans autonomously, reducing the number of inspections significantly.
The paper also describes how the technology can be developed further to use production data and integrity operating windows to improve predictions, deal with localised corrosion and assess if the test points on a corrosion circuit are sufficient, can be reduced in number or should be manually evaluated by adding more test points.
