Effects of AC interference on the optimum cathodic protection potential of X70 steel in soil solution

Qingmiao Ding, Zili Li, Hongna Hao

The presence of alternating current (AC) causes serious damage on buried pipelines even when the off potential matches the −0.85 V/CSE criterion. The optimum cathodic protection…

Steam oxidation behaviour of plasma nitrided Fe-based alloys

Jeremy Cockrem, Tomasz Pawel Dudziak, Nigel Simms, Mikolaj Lukaszewicz, John Oakey

It is well known that alloys, based on iron, were exposed to steam oxidation environment producing thick and non-protective oxide scale. More expensive stainless steels contain…

Mitigation of stress corrosion cracking of carbon steel exposed to CO-CO2-H2O environments through inhibitor addition

Madeleine Du Toit, Josias Willem Van der Merwe

– This investigation aims to find the degree of passivation required to completely inhibit the stress corrosion cracking of carbon steel exposed to CO-CO₂-H₂O environments.

An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical study of the self-assembled monolayer phytic acid on the 430 stainless steel in NaCl solution

Zhiyong Cao, Hairen Wang, Yan Jiang, June Qu

The self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of inositol hexakisphosphoric (IP6) formed in NaCl solution at room temperature on the surface of Type 430 stainless steel (SS430) were…

Corrosion behavior of molybdate conversion coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloy in NaCl solution

Yingwu Yao, You Zhou, Liang He

– This paper aims to study the corrosion behavior of molybdate conversion coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloy in NaCl solution.

A new equation proposed for evaluation of IR drop on buried pipelines

Esmaeel Naderi, Mohammad Hadi Moayed, Mohsen Rahman

In this investigation, attempts were made to distinguish critical coating faults in order of repair priority in DCVG+CIPS survey data by new proposed equation for calculating IR…
