Beneath these deposits, ‘wick-boiling’ causes concentration of contaminants (such as chlorides), which eventually leads to rapid corrosion. In this work, the corrosion of carbon steel has been investigated in hot acid chloride solutions that simulate the concentrated local environments formed during UDC. Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) is sometimes dosed into boilers for pH control. This work has shown that TSP addition such that the phosphate concentration equals the chloride concentration dramatically reduces the corrosion rate in these simulated environments from > 20 to < 0.1 mm/yr. Additionally, a model of wick-boiling beneath deposits has been used to analyze the concentration of chlorides and phosphates during the initiation stages of UDC, suggesting that dosing of only 100 ppb of TSP into bulk boiler water should be sufficient to increase the critical deposit thickness (required for UDC) by > 100 μm across a wide range of operational scenarios.","PeriodicalId":10717,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion","volume":"234 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that with the extension of corrosion time, the corrosion morphology of each region of the welded joint changes from the initial uniform corrosion to a large difference. During the whole process, the surface fluctuation of the base-metal area is small, and no obvious pitting pits are observed. Cracks are gradually generated in the heat affected zone and the weld metal, and as the cracks expand, the surface pits deepen. The corrosion rate of the three regions of the welded joint showed a trend of rapid increase-slow decrease-slow increase-slow decrease. It provides conditions for further research on the simulation and correlation of accelerated corrosion test.","PeriodicalId":10717,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135718858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gadve","doi":"10.5006/4333","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5006/4333","url":null,"abstract":"Corrosion of reinforcement due to chloride attacks in the marine environment is a natural phenomenon. Corrosion of reinforcement produces corrosion products of high volume, which deteriorates the structural integrity of reinforced concrete structure due to loss of bond, cracking and, spalling of the concrete. Existing literatures have documented tests investigating the bond behavior of uncorroded and corroded specimens, but there is a dearth of data pertaining to a more advanced stage (higher mass loss) of corrosion. In the current study, an accelerated corrosion test was conducted on cylindrical (lollipop) specimens, which involved utilizing an impressed current laboratory technique to induce three distinct levels of corrosion (10%, 20%, and 40% mass loss). Moreover, to assess bond strength, the pull-out tests were performed on both corroded and uncorroded specimens. The present study deals with the residual bond strength at three different corrosion levels, as a function of different parameters such as clear cover (CC), water-cement (w/c) ratio, and two different reinforcement diameters. Experimental data reveals that mass loss achieved is lesser than the target mass loss for all specimens. It is observed that at higher corrosion levels, where the mass loss exceeds 10% or cracks appear on the surface of the reinforced structure, both an increase in mass loss and a decrease in residual bond strength are consistently observed. These effects remain consistent regardless of whether the parameters such as bar diameter, w/c ratio, and clear cover are increased or decreased. The statistical analysis was performed on the experimental data to develop predictive models for estimating the residual bond strength and mass loss. For higher mass loss of 30-35%, the corresponding bond strength for all the specimens falls within the range of 4-6 MPa.","PeriodicalId":10717,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136058843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Burns","doi":"10.5006/4279","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5006/4279","url":null,"abstract":"The effect of chloride concentration on the environment-assisted cracking (EAC) behavior of AA5083-H131 in atmospheric environments was investigated using high-fidelity fracture mechanics-based testing and concurrent electrochemical potential measurements. EAC susceptibility was found to increase across all environments as chloride concentration increased, denoted by a decrease in the threshold stress intensity and faster stage II crack growth rates. However, EAC susceptibility for a given chloride concentration decreased across all chloride concentrations as cathodic limitation due to solution geometry effects increased. These results are analyzed in the context of the proposed anodic dissolution-enabled hydrogen embrittlement mechanism for EAC in Al-Mg alloys. Specifically, the increase in EAC susceptibility noted at higher chloride concentrations is postulated to arise from an increased overpotential for hydrogen production at the crack tip. Conversely, the decrease in EAC susceptibility observed as the solution geometry becomes more restrictive is attributed to cathodic limitation at the bulk surface decreasing dissolution at the crack tip, resulting in a concomitant less aggressive crack chemistry, and thus lower levels of hydrogen production and uptake at the crack tip. A close correlation between the open-circuit potential on the bulk specimen surface and the crack growth kinetics was also observed across all environments and chloride concentrations, with higher chloride concentrations and cathodic limitations resulting in larger changes in electrochemical potential. This correlates well with known electrochemical potential-dependent EAC observations for these alloys.","PeriodicalId":10717,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136313962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their use in conjunction with steels and carbon fiber-reinforced polymers in these applications will result in galvanic coupling that may be deleterious to the Al alloy. As such, the ability of anodic polarization to induce stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in AA6xxx, an alloy typically considered SCC-resistant, is explored. In this study, fracture mechanics-based testing under full immersion in 0.6 M NaCl was used to quantify the threshold stress intensity above which SCC can occur (KTH) and stage II SCC crack growth rate (da/dtII) as a function of applied potential at and above the freely corroding potential. Under freely corroding conditions and potentials applied within the range observed for the freely corroding potential, no SCC was observed as results matched those gathered in the air (i.e., KTH was equivalent to the measured fracture toughness). When applying potentials anodic to the freely corroding potential (greater than −706 mVSCE), a decrease in KTH and an increase in da/dtII was observed. Crack growth rates measured under anodic polarizations were slowed through the reapplication of the freely corroding potential. These data imply that galvanic coupling may have the capacity to induce severe SCC in AA6111.","PeriodicalId":10717,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136313947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CO2 induced oil layer rupture was attributed to the water droplet actions at the oil/water interface and the steel surface, where the generation of micro-droplets were facilitated by the interactions between the dissolved CO2 and the oil molecules.

The alloyed carbon increases the passive film stability, but the more fundamental reason is that carbon suppresses the active dissolution rate of the matrix, thereby inhibiting the kinetics of pitting growth.
