The pipe coating industry was affected by the global economic crisis, but the magnitude, timing and duration of the effects varied broadly from region to region and even among countries in the same region. In Asia, volumes continued to grow during the crisis (driven primarily by sustained activity in China), albeit considerably less than previously expected

Soil seasonal change is believed to be one of the major factors that contribute to high-pH stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of underground pipelines, although the specific role and mechanisms of the soil seasonal change in the SCC susceptibility are not clearly understood. This study is directed at ... [Corrosion 66, 095004 (2010)] published Wed Sep 01, 2010.

Localized carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion is the most dangerous type of internal corrosion to mild steel pipelines in the oil and gas industry since the penetration rate of localized corrosion can be one or more magnitudes higher than that of uniform corrosion. In this study, the focus is on propaga ... [Corrosion 66, 095003 (2010)] published Wed Sep 01, 2010.

In a previous paper (Part I), the utility of Zn-submerged bulk anodes (ZnSBA) for providing cathodic protection to the above-waterline portion of a marine-reinforced concrete bridge substructure was investigated. It was determined that polarizations greater than 100 mV reached to the top of cast-in ... [Corrosion 66, 096001 (2010)] published Wed Sep 01, 2010.

Electrochemical sensors incorporating diamond-like carbon (DLC)-coated electrodes are effective tools for online, real-time corrosion monitoring at high temperatures. A vacuum-based chemical vapor deposition process was used to deposit a DLC thinfilm coating on the surface of the sensing electrodes ... [Corrosion 66, 095002 (2010)] published Wed Sep 01, 2010.

The non-conventional accelerated alternating current-direct current-alternating current (AC-DC-AC) testing method for organic coatings induces degradation by promoting cathodic reactions at the metal coating interface and ionic transport in the bulk of the coating. This cyclic method involves a tes ... [Corrosion 66, 095001 (2010)] published Wed Sep 01, 2010.

The corrosion behavior of a modified UNS N08367 austenitic steel (mod. UNS N08367) exposed to deaerated supercritical water at 650°C and 25 MPa for exposure times to 1,000 h was investigated using weight gain measurement and oxide structure analysis. The morphologies, microstructures, and chemical ... [Corrosion 66, 096002 (2010)] published Wed Sep 01, 2010.
