This is the chemical removal of high-temperature scale and the adjacent low-chromium layer of metal from stainless steel metal surfaces. After welding, or any other heat treatment method, a colored oxide layer forms, and underneath is the chromium-depleted layer on the surface of the steel. When… View Full Term

Discover the types and sources of electrical interference that accelerate corrosion in buried metallic structures such as pipelines, tanks and vessels.
A tank farm is a facility where petroleum products are stored prior to being disbursed to end consumers or retail facilities. The facilities at a tank farm are usually very basic. Tanks can be above or below ground, with...
Practical techniques can be used for potential measurements. They are very important for any structure-to-electrolyte potential survey.
Stress corrosion cracking occurs as a result of a combination of corrosion and tensile stress. Here we'll take a look at the types of SCC and the factors that contribute to their formation.
Corrosion failure happens for all kinds of reasons, but one of the least addressed causes of corrosion is human error.
