Corrosion

Corrosion is defined as a refined metal that is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its hydroxide or sulphide state. Metal corrodes when it reacts with another substance such as oxygen, hydrogen or bacteria. Corrosion can also happen when metals are placed under too much stress causing the material to crack. Corrosion leads to deterioration of the material. In this section you can find newsitems related to all types of corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking, intergranular corrosion, pitting, and corrosion fatigue.

A Welcome from the Chairman of Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference & Expo 2024

"As we anticipate meeting one another this October, we invite you to join us at the NRG Center, with your ideas and topics focused on heat exchanger costs, design, performance, maintenance and efficiency in the oil and gas industry. I am confident that there is something for every professional from all levels of expertise at the Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference and Expo 2024. I am looking forward to seeing you all there!" 

Heat Exchanger Tubes In Super Austenitic Stainless Steels

In recent months, there have been challenges faced by supply chain to procure these types of materials which have seen wide fluctuations in prices, and long leadtimes.

Corrosion with Purpose: Electrochemical Machining Parts, Atom-By-Atom

This unique process is known as electrochemical machining (ECM), as well as its more advanced version called pulsed electrochemical machining (PECM).

Corrosion Protection of Process Vessels by Galvanic Anodes

The cathodic protection designing of process vessels is difficult, critical, and hazardous to the environment due to enclosed and extreme electrolyte conditions of non-ambient temperature, pressure, velocity, and chemical compositions.

European Funded Research to Boost the Safety of Steel Construction Products Using Recycled Scrap...

Protection against corrosion is necessary to lengthen the service life of steel products and ensure the fulfilment of safety requirements by averting material failure. ALCOAT is a 42-month project that will develop two new families of aluminum alloy coatings.

VpCI-649 Solves the Irony of Corrosion During Hydrotesting

Hydrotesting of industrial pipes, valves, and other vessels presents an irony. While hydrotesting is done to ensure that no leaks are present and that the vessel will hold up under expected operating pressures, it also raises the risk of corrosion by introducing moisture to the system.

Impact of Aging Plants On Stainless Steel Components

Why use stainless steel? Stainless steel is the ideal material choice for a wide range of plant applications due to its resistance to corrosive products such as acids, caustic solutions, oxidizers, and environmental corrosive elements such as salt laden air when found near the sea.

Corrosion Resistant Alloys Breaks Ground on New High Alloy Nickel Tubulars JIT Manufacturing Facility

Corrosion Resistant Alloys, LP (CRA), a just-in-time (JIT) manufacturer of high-quality corrosion resistant alloy tubulars, has broken ground on the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Brenham, Texas.
