Grain refinement is known to lead to improvements in strength and wear resistance. Inherent processing involved in grain refinement alter both the bulk and the surface of a material, leading to changes in grain boundary density, orientation, and residual stress. Ultimately, these surface changes ca ... [Corrosion 66 075005 (2010)] published Thu Jul 01, 2010.

Pitting corrosion of pipelines remains a serious concern to operators in the oil and gas industry. Pitting is a particularly insidious and extremely rapid form of attack of a metal structure that can lead to unexpected system failures. The pipe wall can be perforated within a relatively short space ... [Corrosion 66 065003 (2010)] published Tue Jun 01, 2010.

The extent of corrosion of epoxy-coated rebar (ECR) in marine bridges was found to be generally correlated with concrete chloride dijfusivity, DApp, with significant corrosion observed for bridges with DApp values reaching up to ∼10−7 cm2/s but not for sound concrete locations in bridges with DApp ...

The corrosion performance over a nearly 30-year service period of epoxy-coated rebar (ECR) in Florida marine bridges is presented. Severe ECR corrosion was noted earlier in several of those bridges, built with relatively high permeability concrete. Corrosion development took place later in some oth ...

Two-layered United States Air Force organic coatings are designed with the topcoat functioning as a barrier against the environment and the primer providing adhesion between the topcoat and the substrate, as well as promoting chromate passivation. In standard testing methods such as salt spray and ... [Corrosion 66 066001 (2010)] published Tue Jun 01, 2010.

Results from laboratory and field investigations of the mechanical characteristics of protective coatings are summarized. Lack of paint film flexibility and strength, together with internal stress and low adhesion, are expected to be the main reasons for the cracking and flaking of protective coati ...

This paper summarizes the results from laboratory investigations on internal stress in protective coatings. Internal stress, together with a lack of paint film flexibility and adhesion, are expected to be the main reasons for cracking and flaking of protective coatings. Mechanical properties and ad ...

The corrosion behavior of four different microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V with varying volume fractions of primary α (0, 10%∼20%, 40%∼50%, and ∼90%) was investigated in sodium chloride (NaCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions. The microstructure constituent morphologies and distributions were chara ... [Corrosion 66 065004 (2010)] published Tue Jun 01, 2010.

In the first part of this two-part paper we reported on the development of a novel test method to evaluate the performance of inhibitors for underdeposit corrosion under sweet (carbon dioxide [CO2]) conditions for oil and gas applications. The use of a multi-electrode array enables examination of t ... [Corrosion 66 056002 (2010)] published Sat May 01, 2010.
