Marine Corrosion Of Stainless Steels

This is Number 33 of the Marine Corrosion of Stainless Steels, a publication of the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC). Part I of this volume on the "Marine Corrosion of Stainless Steels" consists of five chapters and is concerned with tests that were conducted in the 1990s on the corrosivity of European sea waters (Atlantic, Baltic, English Channel, Mediterranean, and North Sea) towards three types of stainless steels. Results from these two test programmes were presented at a European Workshop on Sea Water Corrosion of Stainless Steels in Trondheim in 1996 and at various corrosion conferences, mostly in Europe. The other four chapters in Part I describe experimental procedures, critical pitting temperature data, crevice corrosion results and results from the MAST biofilm studies. The remaining 23 chapters of the book are concerned with reviews and reports that develop the above topics.

Contains papers presented at a workshop in 1995 organised by SINTEF Corrosion and Surface Technology (Trondheim) in co-operation with the EFC Working Parties on Marine Corrosion and Microbial Corrosion. Particular attention was given to biofilms, their causes, effects and prevention, as well as to the behaviour in seawater of high alloyed austenitic stainless steels including 6Mo, and super duplex stainless steels.

ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION Presents a comprehensive look at atmospheric corrosion, combining expertise in corrosion science and atmospheric chemistry Atmospheric corrosion has been a subject of engineering study, largely empirical, for nearly a century. Scientists came to the field rather later on and had considerable difficulty bringing their arsenal of tools to bear on the problem. Atmospheric corrosion was traditionally studied by specialists in corrosion having little knowledge of atmospheric chemistry, history, or prospects. Atmospheric Corrosion provides a combined approach bringing together experimental corrosion and atmospheric chemistry. The second edition expands on this approach by including environmental aspects of corrosion, atmospheric corrosion modeling, and international corrosion exposure programs. The combination of specialties provides a more comprehensive coverage of the topic. These scientific insights into the corrosion process and its amelioration are the focus of this book. Key topics include the following: Basic principles of atmospheric corrosion chemistry Corrosion mechanisms in controlled and uncontrolled environments Degradation of materials in architectural, transport, and structural applications; electronic devices; and cultural artifacts Protection of existing materials and choosing new ones that resist corrosion Prediction of how and where atmospheric corrosion may evolve in the future Complete with appendices discussing experimental techniques, computer models, and the degradation of specific metals, Atmospheric Corrosion, Second Edition continues to be an invaluable resource for corrosion scientists, corrosion engineers, conservators, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the theory and application of this evolving field. The book concerns primarily the atmospheric corrosion of metals and is written at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students in any of the physical or engineering sciences.

(Working Parties on Marine Corrosion & Microbial Corrosion) Contents include: aspects of marine corrosion and testing for seawater applications; experience with seawater chlorination on copper alloys and stainless steels; an intelligent probe for in-situ assessment of the susceptibility of hydrogen induced cracking of steel for offshore platform joints.

A Complete, Up-to-Date Introduction to Corrosion of StainlessSteels and Metallurgical Factors This fully updated Second Editionof Corrosion of Stainless Steels covers the tremendous advancesmade with stainless steels in recent decades, includingapplications in many new areas--from marine technologies andoff-shore oil production to power plants and the kitchen sink.

This work examines the corrosion of stainless steels and similar chromium-bearing nickel-containing higher alloys, detailing various corrosive environments, including atmospheric and fire-side corrosion, corrosion by water and soil, and corrosion caused by particular industrial processes. It presents the acceptable isocorosion parameters of concentration and temperature for over 250 chemicals for which stainless alloys are the preferred materials of construction.
