Technology in Action: Robotics

This is a print-on-demand (POD) book that will be produced just for you in 2-5 days after your order. It should arrive at your door in about one to two weeks. However, due to supply chain and logistic challenges currently affecting the industry, it may take longer. Allow three weeks for international orders.

To stay competitive in the corrosion industry, companies must continually be looking for more efficient, safe, and cost-effective ways to inspect and maintain assets. There are many opportunities for the increased use of robotic solutions in all aspects of the corrosion industry, but the primary reasons focus on limiting human intervention for both safety and accuracy.

This book presents the reader with multiple examples of the use of robotic unmanned and remote-controlled systems, be they underground, on the ground, or in the air.

Unmanned (UAVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have been around for a long time and have served varied and important purposes, with technical improvements in both electronics and materials contributing to their increased usefulness across many industries.

In terms of the corrosion industry, to stay competitive companies must continually be looking for more efficient, safe, and cost-effective ways to inspect and maintain assets. There are estimates that the global industrial inspection and maintenance market is valued at US$450 billion, and while that is the broad market figure, it clearly reflects the enormous opportunity and potential for implementing robotic solutions in all the industries that corrosion touches.

This book presents the reader with multiple examples of the use of robotic unmanned and remote-controlled systems, be they underground, on the ground, or in the air.

Chapters include, Corrosion Detection Using Robotic Vehicles; Underground Radar Detects Infrastructure Damage; Managing Tank Integrity; Robotic Crawler Turns the Unpiggable into Piggalbe; Automation for More Accurate CP Site Surverys; and UAVs Take on Mission for Marine Corrosion, Coating Inspection.

Forms of Corrosion - Recognition and Prevention, 2nd Edition

Product Number: 37626-POD
ISBN: 978-1-57590-354-5
Author: Dale McIntyre
$215.00

This is a print-on-demand (POD) book that will be produced just for you in 2-5 days after your order. It should arrive at your door in about one to two weeks. However, due to supply chain and logistic challenges currently affecting the industry, it may take longer. Allow three weeks for international orders.

The Second Edition of this classic reference book adds updated commentary and many new case studies. Mechanisms and numerous scenarios illustrate general, localized and galvanic corrosion, environmental cracking, erosion-corrosion, cavitation, fretting, intergranular attack, dealloying, and high-temperature corrosion.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the eight forms of corrosion and illustrate the forms’ macro- and microappearances as they occur in conventional engineering metals and alloys. Diagrams are occasionally employed to illustrate mechanisms, but photographs and photomicrographs are employed whenever possible, together with case histories, to aid understanding of the situations discussed and the means taken to ameliorate them.

This book presents detailed corrosion mechanisms and case histories of a wide variety of corrosion problems from chemical plants, oil production and refining, utilities, pipelines, transport by air, land, and sea, electronics, and the preservation of historical artifacts. The uses of advanced analytical techniques such as electron microscopy, metallography, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Aüger spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques are presented to illustrate their utility in corrosion failure investigations.
