The corrosion of materials is a result of complex impact from many climatic factors such as temperature, humidity, air pollutant content in the air, rainfall etc. In addition, the corrosion rate of metals can be measured. Each climatic zone is characterized by its corrosion rate. This article presents the testing results to determine the corrosion rate of carbon steel, copper, aluminum and zinc in 12 districts characterizing different climate zones of Vietnam. Testing, evaluation, and classification of atmospheric corrosion were conducted in accordance with the standard ISO 9223. The results show that for all types of studied metals, their corrosion rates which are determined from climatic data are higher than the corrosion rates in reality, especially for carbon steel and aluminum. This difference is more visible in the rural areas.

Good Agreement

The corrosion rates of low-carbon steel, and 304, 316 and 410/420 stainless steels in simulated geothermal media containing hydrogen sulfide have been measured by means of the polarization resistance technique. Good agreement was found between weight-loss and polarization resistance measurements of the corrosion rate for all the metals tested. Carbon steel formed a non-adherent film of mackinawite (Fe1 + xS). The lack of protection afforded to the steel by the film resulted in an approximately constant corrosion rate. The stainless steels also exhibited corrosion rates that were independent of time. However, the 410 and 420 alloys formed an adherent film consisting mainly of troilite ( FeS ) which provided only limited passivity. In contrast, the 304 and 316 alloys appeared to be essentially protected by a passive film which did not seem to involve an iron sulfide phase. However, all the stainless steels, particularly the 410 and 420 alloys, showed pitting, which indicated that some breakdown of the passive films occurred.

Abstract Models for predicting top-of-line corrosion (TLC) rates on carbon steels are important tools for cost-effectively designing and operating natural gas transportation pipelines. The work presented in this paper is aimed to investigate how the corrosion rates on carbon steel is affected by acids typically present in the transported pipeline fluids. This investigation may contribute to the development of improved models. In a series of experiments, the corrosion rate differences for pure CO2 (carbonic acid) corrosion and pure organic acid corrosion (acetic acid and formic acid) on X65 carbon steel were investigated at starting pH values; 4.5, 5.3, or 6.3. The experiments were conducted in deaerated low-salinity aqueous solutions at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 65 °C. The corrosion rates were evaluated from linear polarization resistance data as well as mass loss and released iron concentration. A correlation between lower pH values and increased corrosion rates was found for the organic acid experiments. However, the pH was not the most critical factor for the rates of carbon steel corrosion in these experiments. The experimental results showed that the type of acid species involved and the concentration of the undissociated acid in the solution influenced the corrosion rates considerably.

From a technological point of view, measurement of the corrosion rate of magnesium (Mg) and its alloys is critical for lifetime predictions of Mg-based structures and for comparative assessments of their corrosion protection ability. Whilst weight loss, hydrogen evolution, and polarization curves methods are frequently used for measuring the corrosion rate, the determination of values by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is relatively scarce and has only been realized recently. This technique seems to be the most suitable for monitoring corrosion rate values due to its “non-destructive” character, its reproducibility, and its reliable determination of small corrosion rates, much lower than those measured by other techniques. This review aims to picture the state-of-the-art technique of using EIS for measuring the corrosion rate of Mg. This paper starts by introducing some fundamental aspects of the most widely used methods for monitoring the corrosion rate of Mg/Mg alloy and continues by briefly explaining some of the fundamental concepts surrounding EIS, which are essential for the user to be able to understand how to interpret the EIS spectra. Lastly, these concepts are applied, and different approaches that have been proposed to obtain quantitative values of corrosion rate since the 1990s are discussed.

Abstract The present study evaluated the influence of the marine bacteria Bacillus cereus Mc-1 on the corrosion of 1020 carbon steel, 316L stainless steel, and copper alloy. The Mc-1 strain was grown in a modified ammoniacal citrate culture medium (CFA.ico-), CFA.ico- with sodium nitrate supplementation (NO3-), and CFA.ico- with sodium chloride supplementation (NaCl). The and mass loss and corrosion rate were evaluated after the periods of seven, 15, and 30 days. The results showed that in CFA.ico- and CFA.ico- medium added NO3- the corrosion rates of carbon steel and copper alloy were high when compared to the control. Whereas the medium was supplemented with NaCl, despite the rates being above the averages of the control system, they were considerably below the previous results. In general, the corrosion rates induced by Mc-1 on 316L coupons were below the results compared to carbon steel and copper alloy. When analyzing the corrosion rate measurements, regardless of the culture medium, the corrosion levels decreased consistently after 15 days, being below the levels evaluated after seven days of the experiment. Our analyzes suggest that B. cereus Mc-1 has different influences on corrosion in different metals and environmental conditions, such as the presence of NO3- and NaCl. These results can help to better understand the influence of this bacteria genus on the corrosion of metals in marine environments.

Do So

Nowadays, the cathodic protection is a common way of additional corrosion protection of buried structures. This protection is usually accompanied by cathodic polarisation on the protective potential of-850 mV(CSE). Its function is to prevent undesirable corrosion rates, in case the coating protection fails. Objective was to predict a state in terms of passivity or activity in which a carbon steel is in. And to do so, there is a monitoring of pH values by amphoteric metals, which would track pH changes of cathodically protected material in a soil. For pH detection, Al and Zn, were used. Main aim was to track corrosion rate of these amphoteric metals as a most reliable way to predict pH changes. Cathodic protection led to higher pH values of model soil located closely to surface of protected material. In case of carbon steel, alkalisation led to passive state and in the same time amphoteric metals could exist in active state. The aim of this work was to clarify usage of monitoring the corrosion rate of amphoteric metals for detection of pH values influenced by cathodic polarisation.Graphical abstract: Fig. 1 Kinetic and thermodynamic demonstration of passivation of cathodically protected steel

AbstractMeasurements of the corrosion rate of unalloyed steel have been made under conditions representative for repositories in the granitic bedrock of Northern Switzerland using two independent methods: (1) Immersion tests in two representative groundwaters, with and without bentonite; (2) Hydrogen evolution measurements in these groundwaters. The immersion tests were carried out at 80°C and 140°C. In both cases the corrosion rate was higher than 50 μm/a as determined at the end of the first observation period of about 500 h. Corrosion rates of under 10 μm/a were estimated after the first 500 h. The corrosion rates were similar in both groundwaters with mineralisations of approx. 3 g/11 and 14 g/11 respectively, and were generally higher at 80°C than at 140°C. The hydrogen evolution measurements allow an hourly determination of the corrosion rate, with a sensitivity expressed as a corrosion rate of better than 0.1 μm/a. The results generally confirm the observation made in the immersion testing; high corrosion rates were observed over the first few days but then decreased to values well below 10 μm/a. The steady state corrosion rates measured were 1.1 μm/a, 6.5 μm/a, and 2.5 μm/a at 25°C, 50°C, and 80°C respectively in the water with the higher mineralisation. The inverse temperature effect on corrosion rate above 50°C is attributed to a change in the nature of the passive film at higher temperatures.

The electromagnetic method of non-contact current measurements makes it possible to quickly monitor the state of passive (insulating coatings) and active (cathodic polarization) corrosion protection of underground pipelines (UP); detect places of unsatisfactory insulation, determine the transient resistance and its components (resistances of soil, insulating layer, polarization) in different sections, the area of insulation damage, the current distribution of cathodic protection of UP. In combination with contact measurements of direct and alternating voltages, ohmic and polarization potentials, it is possible to determine the polarization resistance and estimate the corrosion rate.
